Step 1
Choose a kettlebell that suits your fitness level. It is extremely important that you work with a weight that is not to heavy, as you can quickly pull muscles or severely injure your delicate shoulder joints during exercise. It is better to work with a lighter weight and do more repetitions than to work with a weight that is simply too heavy.

Step 2
Place the kettlebell on the floor between your legs as you stand with your feet a bit further than shoulder width apart. Remember to keep your abdomen strong and your back straight throughout the exercise. Begin the snatch by bending slightly at the knees and gripping the handle of the kettlebell with your knuckes facing away from your. Pick up the weight and swing it between your legs to gain momentum.

Step 3
Push the kettle bell up to your shoulder as you squat slightly, allowing the weight to gently fall to the back of your wrist. Make sure that the weight remains close to your body as your lift and that your elbow points out to the side. Lift with your legs and push the weight over head, stretching your arm out straight. Allow the kettlebell to fall gently as you bend at the knees and then swing the weight between your legs and repeat.

Step 4
Use the kettlebell snatch exercise to increase punching power, strengthen your arms and tone your abdomen. Remember that form is the most important thing, so again, begin with a lighter weight and practice the motions of the exercise before adding weight and working on speed.
