Coaching cues
- Hold the KB by the horns at chest height; circle it around the head
- Keep the circle tight — the bell traces just outside the skull
- Core braced throughout; hips and shoulders stay square
- Complete 5 circles each direction; a great shoulder warm-up
Common faults 2
Circle is too wide — bell drifts far from the head
A wide arc reduces the shoulder mobility challenge; keep it tight to the skull.
