Rack Carry

Walk with bells in the rack position. Teaches the breath-and-brace pattern under load — the foundation for every standing kettlebell skill.

The lesson

  1. 01

    Get to the rack

    Clean the bells up so your fists are at your collarbones, elbows tucked tight to your ribs, bells resting on your forearms.

  2. 02

    Brace, then breathe

    Tighten your trunk like you're about to be punched, then take small steady breaths without letting that tightness go.

  3. 03

    The test

    If you're holding your breath until you have to gasp, slow down. Walk deliberately enough that the bells never bounce.
