Place the kettlebell on the fl oor and take a
staggered stance with your right foot in front.

so your torso is angled at about 45 degrees to
the fl oor.
Rest your right elbow on your right thigh for
support and reach for the kettlebell with your

Keeping your shoulders square, squeeze the
kettlebell as hard as you can and row the weight

locked out and vertical
above your shoulder.
Press through your
left palm to a tall, seated
position, with both arms
now straight.
Press through your right
heel to extend your hips
up so your torso forms
a straight line from right
knee to right shoulder.
Move your left leg under
your hips and behind you
until your left knee is in line

with your left hand.
Shift your weight until
you’re in a half-kneeling
position, with your torso
vertical and left hand off
the fl oor.
Push through the back
foot to a standing position,
right arm still locked out
with the kettlebell above
your right shoulder.
Pause for a few
seconds, then slowly
reverse the movement
to eventually return the

kettlebell back to the fl oor
in the position you started.
Keeping the kettlebell in
contact with the fl oor, drag
it with both hands from
your right side, up around
your head and to the left.
Grab the handle with the
left hand and repeat the
whole process on the left-
hand side – that, believe it
or not, is just one rep.
