Kettlebell Pullover Instructions

  1. Begin by lying flat on your back on a mat or bench, with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground.
  2. Hold a kettlebell with both hands, gripping the handle firmly, and extend your arms straight above your chest.
  3. Keeping your arms straight, slowly lower the kettlebell behind your head, allowing your upper arms to move parallel to the ground.
  4. Pause briefly when the kettlebell is in line with your head, then reverse the movement and raise the kettlebell back to the starting position.
  5. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, keeping your core engaged and maintaining control throughout the exercise.

Kettlebell Pullover Tips

  1. Start with a light kettlebell to get the hang of the pullover technique.
  2. Lie on your back, knees bent, and hold the kettlebell with both hands above your chest.
  3. Engage your chest muscles by squeezing your shoulder blades together as you lower the kettlebell behind your head.
  4. Keep your core tight and maintain a slight bend in your elbows throughout the movement.
  5. Exhale as you bring the kettlebell back up to the starting position, focusing on contracting your chest muscles.
  6. Avoid using momentum or swinging your arms to prevent strain on your shoulders.
  7. Gradually increase the weight of the kettlebell as you become more comfortable and confident with the exercise.
