How to Perform
1
Place two kettlebells between your feet. To get in the starting position, push your butt back and look straight ahead.
2
Clean one kettlebell to your shoulder and hold on to the other kettlebell in a hanging position. Clean the kettlebell to your shoulder by extending through the legs and hips as you pull the kettlebell towards your shoulders. Rotate your wrist as you do so.
3
Lower the cleaned kettlebell to a hanging position and clean the alternate kettlebell. Repeat.
