The expert spoke about the correct kettlebell snatch technique to pump up the muscles of the whole body

Fitness expert Morgan Fargo talked about the correct technique for performing a kettlebell snatch to pump up muscles throughout the body. Her words are quoted by Women’s Health.

Starting position: standing, legs slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Next, Fargo says, grab the kettlebell (or dumbbell for beginners) with an overhand grip, push your hips back, and squat down, letting the kettlebell touch the floor just below your chest. At the same time, the chest is raised, the back is straight. Then you need to stand up, straighten up and pull the weight behind you. Keep your arm straight until the kettlebell is at hip level, then extend it over your head.

“When the kettlebell is overhead, push your hips back and bend your knees into a squat position. Then stand up straight, keeping your arm locked. Lower your hand back down,” the coach explained. After each jerk, you should squat so that the weight hangs down again, touching the floor.

The specialist noted that the kettlebell jerk helps to work the muscles of the legs, buttocks, abs, back, shoulders, arms and chest. Exercise increases strength and endurance, and also improves coordination. In addition, with this type of training it is easy to increase the intensity of the load; to do this, it is enough to take more weight.

Earlier, Marie Claire journalists named the best endurance exercises. They advised doing squat jumps, jumping lunges, and the “climbing” movement.
