When learning kettlebell technique, one of the biggest challenges is spatial awareness—understanding where the bell should be at different points of a lift. The Kettlebell Clock Analogy is a visual and intuitive way to correct form, improve timing, and make every movement more efficient and safe. Imagine the space around you as the face of a giant clock. You’re standing in the center, feet grounded at six o’clock. The numbers around you—12, 3, 6, 9—serve as reference points for the bell’s path and your body’s alignment during each phase of a kettlebell exercise. Once you “see” the clock, your swings, cleans, and snatches become far more controlled and consistent. The Foundation: Setting the Clock Before you pick up the bell, visualize standing on the clock face. Straight ahead of you is 12 o’clock , behind you is 6 o’clock , to your right is 3 o’clock , and to your left is 9 o’clock . The kettlebell will move through these zones, depending on the exercise.
