How To Do Kettlebell Halo | Exercise Demo

It may sound all innocent and pretty easy, but if you’re passionate about exercise and packing on muscle mass you’ll be glad to know that the kettlebell halo is a lot more difficult than it looks…

The halo will focus in on your shoulder muscles, and those in your chest and upper arm. To be more specific, these are the deltoids, the trapezius, the pectoral muscles, and the triceps.

Not only this, but your core will also work to stabilise your upper body as you manoeuvre the weight around your head, so it will receive some of the benefits of the exercise.

Muscles worked: deltoids, trapezius, pectoral muscles and triceps

Starting position:
- Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart
- Loosen your shoulders
- Keep your back in a neutral position
- Carefully raise the kettlebell whilst holding it by the horns

Method:
- Engage your core and glutes
- Choose a direction to move the kettlebell in
- Keeping the kettlebell as close to you as possible (you can brush the top of your head with your forearm), slowly move it around your head, making sure your back is straight and your body is braced
- Repeat!

Reps & Sets: 3 sets of 10-12 reps (try varying the direction!)
