Kettlebell Around the World

How to do it

  1. Stand with feet shoulder width apart holding a kettlebell by the handle in one hand at waist height.
  2. Brace the core and pass the kettlebell around the waist from one hand to the other, circling the body.
  3. Keep the torso upright and let the shoulders guide the kettlebell smoothly around each side without leaning.
  4. Switch the circling direction after completing a set number of passes in one direction.
  5. Breathe steadily through the circuit rather than holding the breath during the handoffs.
  6. Keep the pass close to the body and the core tight to avoid arching the lower back as the kettlebell moves behind.
