Kettlebell Figure 8

Technique

How to perform Kettlebell Figure 8

1. Stand with your feet wider than shoulder width and one kettlebell between them.
2. Bend your knees and hinge at your hips enough to reach the handle while keeping your trunk steady.
3. Take the bell in one hand and pass it between your legs to the other hand reaching around behind the opposite leg.
4. Guide the bell around the outside of that leg and back toward the space between your legs.
5. Pass it to the other hand behind the other leg, then circle that leg to complete the figure-eight.
6. Continue the low handoffs smoothly without deliberately twisting your trunk or lifting the bell to your chest.
7. Set the bell on the floor under control when you finish.
