Kettlebell Cossack Squat
The Cossack squat holding one kettlebell by the horns at the chest: sit deep into one hip while the other leg stays straight, toes up, then shift across.
How to do it
Setup
Very wide stance, toes slightly out, a kettlebell held by the horns against the chest.
Steps
- Sink into one hip, that heel flat and the knee over the toes.
- Keep the other leg straight with its toes up.
- Stay low as you shift to the other side.
Common mistakes
Bell drifting away from the chest: keep it pinned close. Bent-leg heel lifting: go only as deep as it stays down. Popping up between sides: pass through the middle low.
Breathing
Inhale sitting into the hip, exhale shifting across.
