Kettlebell Halo

The kettlebell halo holds the bell upside down by the horns at your chest, then circles it slowly around your head with your elbows tucked in. The controlled rotation trains the front and side delts through the circling path and the abs through staying braced. Beginners use it in the gym or at home for weight and reps, alternating direction each round.

Common mistakes
