4Guide the kettlebell behind your back and pass it back to the original hand.

Common mistakes

Swaying your torso heavily with the weight, reducing stabilizer recruitment.

Locking out the stance knee, which kills your balance.

Looking down at the floor, disrupting your visual balance cues.

Breathing

To make it easier, tap the toe of your free leg down briefly whenever you lose balance.

To make it harder, use a heavier kettlebell or pass the weight faster.

This is general guidance, not a medical opinion. Listen to your body: if it hurts, stop. If you have an injury or a chronic condition, talk to a doctor first.
