How to do a kettlebell halo

  1. Grip kettlebell handle with both hands at chest height
  2. Keep core engaged and feet shoulder-width apart
  3. Slowly circle kettlebell around your head clockwise
  4. Maintain control as kettlebell passes behind your head
  5. Complete the circle returning to starting position
  6. Reverse direction for counterclockwise rotations

Form tips

  • Keep your core tight throughout the entire movement to protect your spine
  • Use a light weight initially to master the movement pattern
  • Maintain upright posture and avoid leaning forward or backward
  • Control the kettlebell at all times, especially behind your head
  • Start with small circles and gradually increase range of motion
