How to do Kettlebell Windmill
Setup
Stand with feet wider than shoulder-width and press a kettlebell overhead in one hand with the arm locked out. Turn the foot opposite the kettlebell slightly out, shift your weight toward the kettlebell side, and keep your eyes on the bell for the whole movement.
How to do it
- Push your hips toward the raised-arm side while hinging to slide your free hand down the inside of your opposite leg
- Keep the loaded arm vertical and locked with your eyes on the kettlebell
- Descend only as far as your hamstring and hip mobility allow without twisting the spine
- Reverse by driving the hips back under you to stand tall
Watch out for
- Bending the elbow of the overhead arm or taking your eyes off the kettlebell
- Collapsing into the bottom with spinal flexion instead of hinging at the hips
