Kettlebell Shrug
The shrug with a kettlebell hanging in each hand; the shoulders rise straight up toward the ears and lower slowly.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, a kettlebell in each hand at the sides, arms long, feet hip-width.
Steps
- Raise the shoulders straight up toward the ears.
- Hold the top for a beat.
- Lower the shoulders all the way down.
Common mistakes
Rolling the shoulders in circles: straight up, straight down. Bending the elbows to help: the arms only hang. Bells swinging against the thighs: keep them still at the sides.
Breathing
Exhale on the shrug, inhale lowering.
