Similar Exercises

Stand at wider than shoulder width with your feet pointing slightly outwards. Hinge at the hips and bend your knees to lower yourself and grip the kettlebell with both hands.

Start by driving through the heels to extend the hips fully and squeeze your glutes to straighten your legs. Then lower the kettlebell back down to the start position by hinging the hips and bending the knees. Tense your core and maintain square shoulders to keep a straight back throughout. Repeat for the desired amount of repetitions.

Avoid rounding your back when conducting the exercise.
