Mr Talbot said to make sure to engage your core and lower back when performing the exercise, to start with a low weight, and make sure to stop if you feel pain.

In the comments, the osteopath advised starting by doing the movement for 30 second each way twice a week and slowly increase the weight of the kettlebell as you get used to it. 

‘Start light – form is always more important than the weight,’ he said. 

The clip has been viewed more than 70,900 times and racked up dozens of comments from fans praising the helpful tip.
