Purpose

This exercise is used to work the oblique muscles while also working the body’s natural stabilizer muscles.

Execution

Place a kettlebell in front of one of your feet. Pick up the kettlebell, and then clean and press the kettlebell up overhead. Keep your arm extended throughout the entire movement. Now, push your butt out in the direction of the kettlebell that is extended over your head. Next, slightly turn your feet away from the kettlebell and then bend over until you are parallel with the floor. Pause slightly at this position and then return to the starting position. Repeat this motion.

Tip

Keep your muscles tight throughout this movement; your entire core should be engaged to properly perform this exercise.
