Kettlebell Split Squat
The split squat with a kettlebell hanging in each hand; the bells hang close to the legs and let the torso stay upright.
How to do it
Setup
Kettlebells by the handles at the sides, arms long, feet a long stride apart.
Steps
- Drop the back knee, the bells hanging straight.
- Pause just before the knee touches down.
- Stand back up without moving the feet.
Common mistakes
Bells swinging into the legs: lower slowly so they hang still. Shoulders rolling forward under the load: blades back, chest open. Back knee slamming the floor: stop just above it.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
