Kettlebell snatch

The snatch is an Olympic lifting move that requires power and whole-body strength, and its fat-burning potential is massive. The kettlebell snatch is now a gym staple, and you won’t see a kettlebell workout without it.

If you’re a beginner, start with the lightest weight available to really perfect your technique – executing the move correctly has far more effectiveness than simply using a heavier weight.
