This one's a little wild, but you've got it! With both paws swinging kettlebells overhead, it's like a baby bear showing off how big and strong they're getting. It might look like play, but your whole body's working hard - just try not to make your 'grr' face too early!

Instructions

  1. Start with your feet shoulder-width apart and kettlebells on the floor in front of you.
  2. Squat down and grasp the kettlebells with an overhand grip.
  3. Explosively extend your hips, knees, and ankles to lift the kettlebells off the ground.
  4. Pull the kettlebells up by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your body.
  5. As the kettlebells reach chest height, quickly rotate your wrists and push the kettlebells overhead.
  6. Lock out your elbows at the top and stand upright.
  7. Lower the kettlebells back to the starting position in a controlled manner.
