Move of the month
Fire up your hips, glutes, legs and core with the explosive and dynamic single-arm hang clean
WHY WE LOVE IT: A stronger core and glutes that pop? Sign us up. The kettlebell hang clean is the secret sauce for oh-so-many perks. ‘It’s essentially an explosive deadlift,’ says PT Lauren Kanski. ‘It trains power and strength in the core unit and is an extremely athletic full-body movement.’ But how to get the hang of it?
STEP 1
START with a kettlebell between your feet. Keeping your chest above your hips, bend your knees to grab the kettlebell handle with one hand. Lift the bell to mid-shin height. Take a deep breath in.
STEP 2
EXHALE as you stand, letting the force from your hips push your kettlebell up. Draw in your core and let the kettlebell flip round your wrist to rack position, using your upper arm as a ‘shelf’.
