How to do it

Setup

Kettlebell held at the chest goblet-style, elbows under it.

Steps

  1. Step BACK into a lunge, rear knee toward the floor.
  2. Keep the front shin near vertical.
  3. Drive up through the front foot and return the leg.

Common mistakes

Short back-steps: the front knee dives; reach the step long. Bell pulling the chest down: elbows tight under it. Pushing off the back toes: the FRONT leg stands you up.

Breathing

Inhale stepping back, exhale driving up.
