Kettlebell snatch
We-Heart it because…The kettlebell snatch is a great way to make the most of this Olympic lifting-inspired movement without the hassle of an Olympic bar and lifting platform. It works your body from head to toe – but expect some serious aching in your upper back and shoulders!
Instructions:
Bend at the hips and knees to take hold of a kettlebell on the floor in front of you with one hand.
In one explosive movement, extend the body to take the kettlebell overhead, allowing your arm to bend to keep the kettlebell fairly close to your body.
Bend at the hips and knees again to allow the kettlebell to come back down between your legs and repeat.
Change arms with each full set.
Top tip: try not to hunch the upper back and shoulders
