Figure 8 to Hold

User Rating: / 2
PoorBest 

	The Figure 8 to Hold is similar to the Figure 8, but requires a greater hip snap and rotation in order to get the kettlebell up to the torso. This is a great core strength builder as well as shoulder and grip. The flexibility that you receive from this exercise is one of it's major benefits. Used with heavy weights, this is a great arm exercise as well.
Purpose/Focus: Power, Flexibility, Conditioning Body Parts Used: Hips, Legs, Back, Core, Arms Difficulty: Easy
