How to do it

1. Sit on the floor and spread your legs out comfortably.
2. Clean one kettlebell to your shoulder.
3. Press the kettlebell up and out until it is locked out overhead. Return to the starting position.

• Control the lowering phase — don't drop into it.
• Keep breathing; exhale on the hardest part.
