kettlebell long cycle

Kettlebell long cycle is a dynamic strength and endurance exercise involving two main movements: the clean and jerk. It requires lifting a kettlebell from the ground to shoulder level (clean), then pressing it overhead (jerk), before lowering it back to the ground. This sequence is performed repeatedly in a continuous cycle, challenging cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength, and coordination. Proper technique and timing are essential to maximize benefits and ensure safety. The long cycle is often used in competitions and training to develop overall functional strength, muscular endurance, and explosive power.
