How to do a Squat Press with Kettlebells

Video Transcript

"RASUL AHMED DAVIS: On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Rasul Davis and my company is Punch Kettlebell Gym, New York City, and today I'm going to show you how to get into the swing of things with kettlebells. Now I'm going to demonstrate an old strongman type of move. It's called the "squat press." This is an excellent move for anybody, a total body movement. Okay, you want to pick up your kettlebell, bring it to your shoulder. Now, you're going to do a full squat, squatting all the way down, then you're going to press, straight above your head, then stand up with a straight arm. So this is what it looks like. If you don't have the flexibility in your shoulder, when you go down, just look at the kettlebell as you lift it. That'll cause a slight rotation in your torso and allow you to do the move. It's an excellent exercise in and of itself."
