Instructions
Step 1: Stand upright with feet hip-width apart holding a kettlebell in one hand. The side holding the kettlebell will be the "contralateral" side relative to the working leg (e.g., kettlebell in the right hand if you're stepping back with the left leg).
Step 2: Brace your core and keep your chest up and back straight throughout the exercise.
Step 3: Step back with the leg opposite to the side holding the kettlebell, while maintaining your balance and keeping the kettlebell at shoulder height.
Step 4: Lower your hips until the knee of your rear leg nearly touches the ground in a controlled lunge, creating a 90-degree angle with both knees.
Step 5: Keep the weight on your front heel and do not let your front knee pass beyond your toes.
Step 6: Push through the heel of your front foot to return to the starting position.
Step 7: Complete the desired number of repetitions on one leg before switching the kettlebell to the other hand and repeating the exercise with the opposite leg.
Make sure to perform the exercise with proper form to prevent injury and to maximize the effectiveness of the workout. It's also recommended to start with a lighter weight to master form before progressing to heavier kettlebells.
