Windmill Kettlebell 

Method
 

  1. A. Stand shoulder-width apart with your feet shoulder-width apart and a light kettlebell racked in your right hand, the bell resting against the top of your forearm. 
  2. B. Lift the kettlebell above such that the biceps are adjacent to the right ear, the right arm is locked, and the palm is facing forward. Rotate the left foot 45 degrees to the left. My left arm is at my side.
  3. C. Raise your head and rotate your torso slightly to open your chest toward the kettlebell. Hinge at the hips to descend the torso toward the floor while keeping the core engaged, right arm straight, shoulder blades retracted, and eyes fixed on the kettlebell. While tracing the left hand down inside of the left thigh toward the floor, palm facing outward, bend the left leg slightly, and keep the right leg as straight as possible.
  4. D. Keep hinging as far as possible without using your back muscles or bending at the waist. To return to the starting position, pause, then reverse the movement.
  5. Perform 8 reps on each side.
