Instructions
1. Stand with your feet wide apart, much wider than shoulder-width.
2. Hold a kettlebell with both hands close to your chest. Keep your core tight and back straight.
3. Shift your weight towards one side, bending the knee while keeping the other leg straight. The foot on the straight leg should have the toes pointing upwards.
4. Lower your body down as much as you comfortably can, keeping the bent leg's heel flat on the floor. Your torso may lean slightly forward to maintain balance.
5. Hold the position briefly, then press through the heel of the bent leg to return to the starting position.
6. Perform the movement on the opposite side.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets, alternating sides each time.
Ensure you perform this exercise with proper form to avoid injury. It's beneficial for increasing leg strength and flexibility, as well as improving balance and functional mobility.
