For the Goblet Clean take a single kettlebell and, with both hands, clean it into a goblet hold, then twist to face right, twist to face left and return the KB to the floor… repeat.

Results: Done as shown. Cleans are OK, need to work on form so tried to focus on full extension, foot position, etc.
