Dumbbell
1. Setup: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, with a kettlebell placed a foot in front of you.
2. Grip: Bend at the hips and knees to grasp the kettlebell handle with both hands, palms facing your body.
3. Starting Position: Engage your core, keep your back straight, and hinge at the hips to swing the kettlebell back between your legs.
4. Execution: Thrust your hips forward explosively to swing the kettlebell up to shoulder height. Allow the kettlebell to swing back down between your legs, maintaining control.
5. Return: Continue the swinging motion, using the momentum from your hips, not your arms, to drive the kettlebell. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
