Step by step

1. Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart, holding a kettlebell by the horns with both hands.
2. Let the kettlebell hang in front of your hips with your arms straight and shoulders pulled down and back.
3. Brace your core to lock the torso in place so it can't swing or arch through the rep.
4. Raise the kettlebell straight out in front of you by lifting through the front shoulders only.
5. Stop when the kettlebell reaches roughly eye level with your arms straight and elbows soft.
6. Lower the kettlebell slowly back to the start over 2 to 3 seconds, then begin the next rep.
