Similar Exercises

Hold the kettlebell in front of you and position your feet hip width apart, pointing them slightly outwards and have a soft bend in the knees.

Start by pushing your hips back, to hinge forward, keeping your back straight and chest out. Hinge downwards until your hands are approximately halfway down your shins or until your hips can no longer go further backwards without arching the back. Hold briefly, then push the hips forward, squeezing your glutes to hinge back to the starting position. Your hands should follow a straight line between your shins when performing the movement. As you lower down, you should feel your hamstrings getting progressively tighter. Activate your core to keep a straight back throughout the exercise. Repeat for the desired amount of repetitions.

Perform the movement in a slow and controlled manner where you avoid arching the back to lower the weights or bending the knees, moving them forward.
