Kettlebell Half Kneeling Shoulder Press
Equipment
Hold the kettlebell in your right hand, with your arm bent at the elbow and the kettlebell resting at shoulder height.
Engage your core and keep your back straight as you press the kettlebell straight up towards the ceiling, fully extending your arm but not locking your elbow.
Pause for a moment at the top of the movement to ensure that you're using your shoulder muscles, not just momentum, to lift the kettlebell.
Slowly lower the kettlebell back to the starting position at your shoulder, ensuring that you maintain control of the weight throughout the movement. Repeat the exercise for your desired number of repetitions before switching to the other side.
Pro Tip
Hand Position: When holding the kettlebell, ensure your wrist is straight and the weight of the kettlebell rests on the outside of your forearm. Do not let the kettlebell pull your wrist backward, as this is a common mistake that can lead to wrist strain or injury. Controlled Movement: When pressing the kettlebell, push it straight up until your arm is fully extended, but avoid locking out your elbow. Then, lower it slowly and controlled back to the starting position. This controlled movement will help to engage your muscles more effectively and reduce the risk of injury. Breathing: Remember to breathe properly
