How to do it
Lie on your back pressing a kettlebell overhead with a locked arm and eyes on the bell. Rise through the sequence of roll to elbow, to hand, bridge, sweep the leg to a lunge, and stand, keeping the weight stacked overhead the whole time. Reverse each step under control to return to the floor.
