    How to: Kettlebell Around Head Rotation

    1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a kettlebell with both hands in front of you.
    2. Raise the kettlebell above your head while keeping your arms straight.
    3. Slowly rotate your head and arms in a circular motion, ensuring the kettlebell remains above you.
    4. Complete the circle and return to the starting position, then repeat in the opposite direction.

    Common Mistakes

    • Arching the back during the rotation.
    • Moving too quickly and losing control of the kettlebell.
    • Not maintaining proper alignment of the neck and spine.

    Modifications

    • Use a lighter kettlebell to start with.
    • Perform the exercise without the kettlebell to master the movement.

    Tips

    • Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise.
    • Maintain a steady and controlled movement to avoid injury.
    • Focus on keeping your arms straight as you rotate.
