About

This overhead press works your shoulders and core. It also strengthens your wrists and forearms.

How to Kettlebell Shoulder Press

Starting Position

1. Hold the kettlebell with one hand in the rack position (with the back of your hand next to your chin and the kettlebell outside your forearm).

2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and engage your core.

Proper Form

1. Stand with your torso upright and push the kettlebell vertically upwards.

2. Raise it until your arms are next to your ears,

3. Then slowly lower it back to the rack position. Repeat on both sides.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when pushing up, and inhale when lowering down.

Precautions

1. Hold the kettlebell stable on your forearm to prevent your wrist from bending.

2. Do not arch your back; engage your hips and abdomen.
