How To: Kettlebell Windmill - Setup & Technique

he kettlebell windmill is not a side bend. And it’s definitely not a yoga triangle. In this short tutorial, I break down the most common faults: • Leaning forward like a triangle pose • Bending from the waist • Losing tension through the working hip Instead, here’s what actually matters: - Feet close and organized - Load stacked over the working-side hip - Working leg stays straight - Push the hip back as far as possible - When you get “stuck,” rotate the non-working shoulder between the knees I demonstrate the pattern unloaded first (bottom hand tracing the leg), then clean & press into the full windmill. The windmill is a powerful tool for: 1. Hip hinge mechanics 2. Thoracic rotation 3. Shoulder stability (in horizontal abduction) 4. Oblique and lower back strength 5.
