Exercise Steps

	With a straight back, bend at your knees and hips and bring your hands to the kettlebell
	Wrap your hands around the kettlebell and squeeze them together
	Pick up the kettlebell with a slight bend in the elbows, but keep them locked, to about chest level
	Lower the kettlebell back down safely and repeat
	Maintain core tension throughout the entire exercise. While squeezing the kettlebell you should feel the tension in your upper chest and shoulders. Try to keep your fingers as straight as possible not wrapping them completely around the kettlebell. This will make the exercise harder. Do not bring the kettlebell over your face.
