Kettlebell Overhead Carry/Hold by Physiotherapist Adam Hanton-Fong
The kettlebell overhead carry is a powerful drill for improving thoracic mobility while building shoulder and neck stability. Holding weight overhead challenges your shoulder blade, deep neck stabilizers, and core to work together to maintain strong, efficient posture.
Benefits:
- Improves mid-back mobility for better overhead motion
- Enhances shoulder stability and control
- Strengthens deep neck stabilizers
- Builds core strength and postural endurance
- Activating your core, lift your bottom leg straight up away from the floor.
Slowly lower your leg back down and repeat.
*Hold or carry for 20–40 seconds per side, 2–3 rounds. Focus on quality posture over weight.
Great for anyone working through shoulder or neck discomfort.
*This should not be a painful movement.
*Never do an exercise that causes you pain*
