Kettlebell Side Lunge
The side lunge holding a kettlebell by the horns at the chest; the bell's weight in front helps the hips sit deep into the bent leg.
How to do it
Setup
Feet together, a kettlebell held by the horns against the chest.
Steps
- Take a wide lateral step and sit back over that heel.
- Keep the other leg straight and the bell at the chest.
- Drive off the bent leg back to the start; alternate sides.
Common mistakes
Bell dropping toward the floor: keep it high on the chest. Bent knee drifting past the toes: sit the hips back. Rounding the back to go deeper: stop where the chest can stay up.
Breathing
Inhale into the lunge, exhale pushing back.
