Kettlebell Half-Kneeling Side Lunge
The half-kneeling side lunge with a kettlebell held against the chest; the bell's weight helps the hips sink over the bent side leg.
How to do it
Setup
On one knee, the other leg long out to the side, a kettlebell held against the chest in both hands.
Steps
- Lower the hips toward the side foot, the bell staying against the chest.
- Hold the deepest point for a breath with the side knee over the toes.
- Press back until the side leg straightens.
Common mistakes
Bell pulling the torso forward: keep it tight to the chest and the back upright. Side heel lifting: sink only as low as the whole foot stays down. Kneeling knee on a hard floor: put a mat under it.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
