Movement
Kettlebell Get Up Movement
1. Lie on your back in a starfish position, legs straight out at a 45-degree angle and arms straight out at a 45-degree angle.
2. Bend your right leg and place your right foot flat on the floor a few inches away from your buttocks and outside your hips. Bring your right arm straight up toward the ceiling, making a fist with your right hand and pointing your knuckles straight up. Do not allow your wrist to bend backward. Set your gaze on your fist, which will eventually hold the kettlebell.
