How to do it

  1. Sit on the floor with your knees bent and heels down, holding the kettlebell by the horns in front of your chest.

  2. Lean back with a long back until you feel your core engage.

  3. Rotate your torso to one side, bringing the kettlebell beside your hip, then rotate to the other side.

  4. Keep the movement controlled and continue, alternating sides.

Form tips

  • Rotate through your torso, not just your arms.

  • Keep your chest lifted and avoid rounding your back.

  • Lift your feet off the floor only when you can stay in control.
