Kettlebell Halo

Circle the bell around your head. A shoulder and thoracic mobility drill that doubles as a low-load core warm-up.

The lesson

  1. 01

    Hold it upside down by the horns

    The horns are the two upright sides of the handle. Flip the bell over and take one in each hand at chest height.

  2. 02

    Circle close to your head

    Pass it around your skull, staying close, eyes forward. Ribs down and glutes tight so only your shoulders move.

  3. 03

    The test

    Tight shoulders mean a smaller, slower circle — not a wider one. If your lower back arches or your hips sway as the bell passes behind you, go smaller and squeeze your glutes harder.
