Kettlebell Halo

How to do it

  1. Stand tall, feet shoulder-width apart, and hold a kettlebell upside down by the horns close to your chin, gripping firmly with both hands.
  2. Brace your core and squeeze your glutes to keep your torso still throughout.
  3. Guide the kettlebell around one side of your head, keeping it close, letting your elbows bend and point upward as it passes behind your head.
  4. Continue the circle around to the front until the kettlebell returns under your chin.
  5. Reverse direction and circle the kettlebell the same way around the other side.
  6. Move slowly and deliberately; this is a control drill, not a momentum exercise.
  7. Repeat for the prescribed number of circles, alternating direction each rep or set.
