How to Do the Kettlebell Halo

  1. Hold a kettlebell upside-down by the horns in front of your chest.
  2. Brace your core and keep your elbows close to your body.
  3. Begin circling the kettlebell slowly around your head, keeping it close to your skull.
  4. Move in a smooth, controlled motion — don’t let your ribs flare and keep your head still.
  5. Complete the desired number of reps.

Commentary

The halo is a great exercise for shoulder mobility and control, while also engaging your core and upper back. Keep the movement slow and controlled.
