Stand tall, still gripping the ‘bell. Keep your arms long and loose while squeezing your shoulder blades together and engaging your core. Soften your knees, shift your body weight into your heels, and lower your butt back and down toward the wall behind you. Driving through your heels, explode through your hips to send the weight swinging upward from your quads. Aim for chest height, with your arms extended. Achieving this finishing position requires you to snap your hips through, contracting your core while squeezing your glutes. As the kettlebell begins to descend, let the weight do the work as you ready your body for the next rep. Shift your weight back into your heels while hinging at your hips and loading both your hamstrings and glutes. Receive the weight of the kettlebell, allowing it to ride back between your legs. As the kettlebell makes the transition from backward to forward, drive through your heels and hips to repeat.
