What is a Kettlebell March?
The Kettlebell March is a kettlebell carry movement. It’s a full body blaster, that will engage your core, lower and upper body. This is great as a warm-up, cool-down, or as a part of your strength routine.
The Kettlebell March is a full-body exercise with an emphasis on the following muscle groups:
- Core
- Back
- Shoulders
- Biceps
- Legs
How to Do a Kettlebell March (Instructions):
Start with the kettlebell 6-12 inches in front of your feet. As you inhale, “deadlift down” by bending over at your hips to pick up the bell with your right hand. As you exhale, let the bell fall to the outside of your right leg.
As you inhale, bring your right knee up towards your chest in a march. As you exhale, return your leg to the ground. Repeat on the other leg. Alternate carrying the bell with your left hand.
