The Kettlebell Seesaw Press is a dynamic upper body exercise that targets the shoulders, chest, and core muscles simultaneously. This exercise requires coordination and stability throughout the movement.
How to perform
Step-by-step instructions:1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell in each hand at shoulder height, palms facing forward.
2. Engage your core and keep your back straight throughout the exercise.
3. Press one kettlebell overhead until your arm is fully extended, while simultaneously lowering the other kettlebell back down to shoulder height.
4. Slowly reverse the movement by pressing the second kettlebell overhead while lowering the first kettlebell back down to shoulder height.
5. Continue alternating pressing and lowering the kettlebells in a controlled, fluid motion.
6. Aim to perform 8-12 reps on each arm before resting and repeating for additional sets.
It is important to keep a stable base and avoid twisting or arching your back during the exercise. Start with a lighter weight to focus on proper form before increasing the weight for added challenge.
