Kettlebell Standing Slingshots
Description
The kettlebell standing slingshots, also called body passes or halos, involve passing a kettlebell around your body in a horizontal circle. With the kettlebell held in front, you swing it around behind you and back to the front. The continuous circular motion trains shoulder mobility, core stability, and grip strength.
