Exercise
Kettlebell Halo
A shoulder mobility and stability move where you circle the kettlebell around your head without letting it touch your body. It builds thoracic mobility and shoulder awareness in a way that translates straight to better posture.

How to do it
- 1
Hold the kettlebell upside down by the horns (base facing up) at chest height.
- 2
Slowly move it around your head in a circle, keeping your core braced and not letting it touch your body.
- 3
Complete half your reps going one direction, then reverse.
- 4
Move deliberately-this isn't about speed, it's about control and mobility.
- 5
Keep your head still and let your shoulders and torso do the work.
Common mistakes
- Moving too fast and using momentum instead of control
- Letting the kettlebell rest on your head or shoulders instead of hovering
- Tilting your head and following the bell instead of keeping your head still
Dad tips
- This is a mobility drill disguised as exercise-move slow and intentional.
- Start light to learn the pattern; you'll feel it in your shoulders immediately.
