How to perform Inverted Kettlebell Carry

  3. Stand upright and brace enough to prevent side-bending or twisting.
  4. Walk with small controlled steps while keeping the bell balanced above its handle.
  5. Stop and lower the bell under control before your wrist or trunk position gives way, then repeat with the other hand.
