Kettlebell Lateral Raise
The lateral raise with a kettlebell in each hand, the bells hanging under the handles all the way up.
How to do it
Setup
Standing, feet hip-width, a kettlebell by the handle in each hand at the sides.
Steps
- Raise both kettlebells out to the sides to shoulder height.
- Keep the wrists straight so the bells hang still.
- Lower them to the sides slowly.
Common mistakes
Bells swinging on the handles: slow the raise until they hang still. Hiking the shoulders as the bells rise: blades down, neck long. Leaning back to get the bells up: lighter bells, quiet trunk.
Breathing
Exhale opening the arms, inhale lowering.
