How to do the Kettlebell Row

  1. Position yourself as required and hold Kettlebell with the appropriate grip.
  2. Keep your back straight and core engaged throughout.
  3. Pull the weight toward your body, driving your elbows back and squeezing your shoulder blades.
  4. Return to the starting position in a controlled manner and repeat.

Form tips

  • Keep your back flat throughout — avoid rounding your spine.
  • Drive your elbows back rather than just pulling with your arms.
  • Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the peak of the movement.
