Kettlebell Lunge with Twist
The lunge that turns the torso toward the front leg at the bottom, a kettlebell held in both hands in front of the chest; the bell's weight makes the turn work the trunk.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, feet hip-width, a kettlebell held in both hands in front of the chest.
Steps
- Step into a long lunge and settle at the bottom.
- Turn the chest and the bell toward the front leg.
- Turn back to the middle, then drive up to standing; alternate sides.
Common mistakes
Twisting the knee with the torso: the front knee stays pointed straight ahead. Rotating from the lower back alone: turn the ribs and shoulders together. Bell dragging the torso down at the bottom: pick a lighter one and stay tall.
Breathing
Inhale into the lunge, exhale on the turn.
