How to perform

Push the kettlebell upwards throughout the movement, keeping your spine neutral and chest up. Switch arms after each set, controlling the marching rhythm.

Tips

Brace your core firmly throughout the exercise to prevent unwanted torso rotation and maintain stability. Keep your weight stacked directly over your ankle and knee to ensure proper alignment and reduce stress on your joints. Focus on keeping your torso square to the kettlebell, avoiding any twisting or leaning motions. Ensure your knees track directly over your toes during each step to promote balanced muscle engagement and prevent injury. Actively push the kettlebell towards the ceiling to engage your glutes and maintain a strong, upright posture. Maintain a forward gaze to help stabilize your core and keep your spine aligned.
