Kettlebell Single-Leg Step-Up
The step-up onto a low platform with a kettlebell in one hand, the same leg leading every rep; the offset bell makes the trunk resist a sideways lean.
How to do it
Setup
Facing a low step, a kettlebell hanging in one hand, the working foot flat on the step.
Steps
- Stand up through the leg on the step, the bell hanging still.
- Bring the other foot up beside it at the top.
- Step down with the free leg and repeat on the same side; switch after the set.
Common mistakes
Leaning toward the bell: stand tall; the trunk holds the offset load. Bouncing off the floor leg: pause before each step up. Switching legs mid-set: one leg does the whole set.
Breathing
Exhale stepping up, inhale down.
