How to do the Advanced Kettlebell Windmill
- 1
Clean and press a kettlebell overhead with one arm.
- 2
Keeping the kettlebell locked out at all times, push your butt out in the direction of the locked out kettlebell. Keep the non-working arm behind your back and turn your feet out at a forty-five degree angle from the arm with the kettlebell.
- 3
Lower yourself as far as possible.
- 4
Pause for a second and reverse the motion back to the starting position.
Log it, see it on your body.
