How to Do Kettlebell Clean and Press
The kettlebell clean and press should begin with good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.
If any pain is experienced, immediately stop the kettlebell clean and press.

2. Keep your arm tucked in close to your body and your weight on your heels as you drive the kettlebell towards you.
