- The Swing: By extending your hips and legs, swing the kettlebell from in-between your legs to shoulder height in front of you and back.
- The Turkish Get Up: Start out lying on the floor with a kettlebell held above you.
Sit up, then stand up all the while holding it overhead, then reverse. - The Clean and Press: Do a movement similar to the swing, but pull the weight in to rest at shoulder level.
Then press overhead.
Reverse movement. - The Snatch: To the same movement as the clean, but launch it all the way overhead and lock out your arm at the top to hold.
Drop down with control.
Here's a snapshot of the program:
- 20 kettlebell swings
- 20 Turkish get ups, alternating arms
- 30 cleans and presses, alternating arms every 5 reps
- 30 snatches, alternating arms every 5 reps
This is truly the best way to go if you are looking to build a lean and toned body.
