Kettlebell Clean and Press

How to Do:

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, and place the kettlebell on the floor in front of you.
2. Bend at the hips and knees, keeping your back straight, to grasp the kettlebell with one hand.
3. Swing the kettlebell back between your legs, then thrust your hips forward to propel the kettlebell upward in a "clean" motion, bringing it to your shoulder.
4. From the shoulder, press the kettlebell overhead by extending your arm fully.
5. Lower the kettlebell back to your shoulder, then swing it back down between your legs to repeat.
6. Complete the desired reps on one side before switching to the other arm.

Benefits:

The kettlebell clean and press is a full-body exercise that builds strength and power, particularly in the shoulders, back, and legs. It engages the core for stability while improving coordination and explosive strength. The clean movement enhances grip strength and reinforces hip hinge mechanics, while the press works the shoulders, triceps, and upper chest. This exercise is great for functional fitness, increasing athletic performance and overall conditioning.
