1 Begin in a half-kneeling position with your right leg forward and your left knee on the ground. In your left hand, hold the handle of a kettlebell, and rest the weight on the back of your shoulder. Extend your right arm to the side or place it on your hip.

2 Exhale and use your shoulder to press the kettlebell straight up.

3 In a controlled manner, return to the starting position. That is one rep. Repeat with this arm for the number of reps given in your workout.

4 Reverse your stance and perform the exercise with your right arm. Repeat with this arm for the number of reps given in your workout.
