Snatch to Catch

User Rating: / 1

The Snatch to Catch is a great introduction to kettlebell juggling. At the top of the snatch, you let go of the handle and position the kettlebell so that the bell portion lands in the palm of your hand. This requires a great deal of focus and will build your hand eye coordination immensely. Make sure to perform this exercise in a place where dropping the kettlebell will not cause damage to anything.

Purpose/Focus: Mobility, Flexibility, Conditioning Body Parts Used: Hips, Shoulders, Back, Core, Arms Difficulty: Easy

Exercise Steps

	Place a kettlebell about a foot in front of you.
	Keeping your back straight and your glutes tight throughout the duration pick up the kettlebell slightly swinging it between your legs
	Using a hip-snapping motion, thrust the kettlebells forward and at the same time, pulling up to bring the kettlebells overhead
	When the kettlebell reaches it's peak above your head with your arms almost fully extended, release the kettlebell and catch the bell portion in your palm and hold. Release the kettlebell from this position and drop it. While in the free fall position, grab the handle quickly and continue the downswing. Repeat.
