How to do a kettlebell windmill

  1. Hold kettlebell overhead with straight arm
  2. Stand with feet wider than shoulder width
  3. Turn feet slightly away from kettlebell side
  4. Hinge at hip and reach free hand down
  5. Keep eyes on kettlebell throughout movement
  6. Return to standing position by driving hips forward

Form tips

  • Keep the overhead arm completely straight and locked throughout the entire movement
  • Focus on hip hinge movement rather than lateral bending of the spine
  • Maintain tight core engagement to protect the lower back
  • Start with lighter weight to master the movement pattern before progressing
  • Keep your eyes on the kettlebell to maintain proper shoulder stability
