How to Perform the kettlebell thruster

1

Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell in front of your chest with both hands, palms facing each other.

2

Lower into a squat position by bending your knees and pushing your hips back, keeping your chest up and your back straight.

3

As you reach the bottom of the squat, explosively drive through your heels to stand up, simultaneously pressing the kettlebell overhead.

4

Lock out your arms at the top of the movement, fully extending your elbows.

5

Lower the kettlebell back to the starting position by reversing the movement, bending your elbows and lowering the weight back to your chest.

6

Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
