How to perform it

  1. Clean a kettlebell to your shoulder. Clean the kettlebell to your shoulder by extending through the legs and hips as you raise the kettlebell towards your shoulder. The palm should be facing inward.
  2. Looking straight ahead, press the kettlebell out and overhead, rotating your wrist so that your palm faces forward at the top of the motion.
  3. Return the kettlebell to the starting position, with the palm facing in.

Muscles worked

The Kettlebell Arnold Press primarily targets your Shoulders, with support from your Triceps. You'll need kettlebells.

Make it count toward your goal

Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Kettlebell Arnold Press slots into a plan built for your goal — sets and reps set in the plan, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly check-in that adjusts your calories, macros and step goal.
