Dumbbell Kneeling Around Head Rotation
The halo with a dumbbell, done kneeling, so the hips and legs cannot help and the trunk has to stay still under the circling weight.
How to do it
Setup
Kneeling upright, a dumbbell held in both hands at the chest, elbows in.
Steps
- Carry the bell around the head, passing behind the neck.
- Hold the hips and ribs still as it passes behind.
- Reverse direction on the next circle.
Common mistakes
Hips drifting as the bell circles: squeeze the glutes and keep them still. Big loose circles: keep the bell close to the head. Lower back arching as it passes behind: ribs down, trunk braced.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
