## Technique
1. Begin by standing with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell with one hands in front of you.

3. Drive through your hips and legs explosively, swinging the kettlebell up to chest level by thrusting your hips forward.
4. Control the swing as it descends between your legs and repeat the motion.
## Form tips
* Maintain a neutral spine and engage your core throughout the movement.
**Logging:** Weight used on one side. Repetitions done on one side.
