How to: Kettlebell Deep Push Up
- Start in a push-up position with each hand gripping a kettlebell.
- Engage your core, keeping your body in a straight line from head to heels.
- Lower your chest towards the kettlebell handles while keeping your elbows at about a 45-degree angle.
- Push through your palms to return to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Not engaging the core, leading to lower back strain.
- Letting the elbows flare out too much instead of keeping them close to the body.
- Neglecting proper hand placement on the kettlebell.
Modifications
- Perform on your knees instead of your toes to reduce intensity.
- Use lighter kettlebells or perform without kettlebells.
Tips
- Keep your core engaged to maintain proper body alignment.
- Ensure your hands are spaced comfortably on the kettlebells for stability.
- Lower your chest to the kettlebell handles to maximize the range of motion.
