Description
Start in a standing position with arms fully extended and hands grasping the kettlebell. Begin by pushing your butt backwards, allowing your torso to angle forward, and your knees to bend slightly, thus loading the hamstrings. Then, violently extend the hips and knees, and swing the kettlebell upwards until held directly overhead. Return the kettlebell to the starting position by pulling it back down along the same path it travelled up.
