Band Good Morning
Using a 41 inch band, stand on one end, spreading your feet a small amount. Bend at the hips to loop the end of the band behind your neck. This will be your starting position.
Keeping your legs straight, extend through the hips to come to a near vertical position.
Ensure that you do not round your back as you go down back to the starting position.
Open Palm Kettlebell Clean
Place one kettlebell between your feet. Clean the kettlebell by extending through the legs and hips as you raise the kettlebell towards your shoulders.
Release the kettlebell as it comes up, and let it flip so that the ball of the kettlebell lands in the palms of your hands.
Release the kettlebell out in front of you and catch the handle with both hands. Lower the kettlebell to the starting position and repeat.
