One Arm Kettlebell Shoulder Press

Step 1

Begin standing and hold a kettlebell in your right hand at shoulder height, with a neutral grip (palm facing towards your body) and the kettlebell resting on the back of your forearm and your shoulder. Place your left hand on your hip or out to the side for balance and plant both feet on the floor hip-width apart. This is your starting position.

Step 2

Inhale and brace your core. Exhale and using the muscles in both your shoulder and arm, press the kettlebell above your head - ensure that your arm is in line with your right ear. Avoid “shrugging” by drawing your shoulder blades down and back.

Step 3

Inhale as you bend your elbow to lower the kettlebell back to the starting position. You should feel the tension in your shoulder and tricep. Repeat for the specified number of repetitions or time on each.
