The Kettlebell One Arm Snatch is an explosive full-body exercise that targets the muscles in your shoulders, back, glutes, and legs. It also improves cardiovascular endurance and core strength.
How to perform
To perform the Kettlebell One Arm Snatch:1. Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell in one hand between your legs.
2. Engage your core, keep your back straight, and squat down slightly.
3. Swing the kettlebell back between your legs, then explosively drive through your hips and knees to generate momentum and pull the kettlebell up in a straight line.
4. As the kettlebell comes up, rotate your hand so that your palm faces up and guide the kettlebell overhead in a single fluid motion.
5. Lock out your arm at the top of the movement, ensuring that your arm is straight and the kettlebell is directly overhead.
6. Lower the kettlebell back down between your legs, rotating your hand to the starting position as you hinge at the hips and knees.
7. Repeat for the desired number of reps, then switch sides and perform the exercise with the other arm.
Remember to use proper form and technique to prevent injury and maximize the benefits of the exercise. Start with a light weight and gradually increase as you become more comfortable with the movement.
