Instructions
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a kettlebell in one hand down between your legs.
2. Lower your body into a semi-squat position, keeping your back straight and head up.
3. Pass the kettlebell from one hand to the other hand under your legs, tracing a figure-eight pattern.
4. As you pass the kettlebell behind the leg, ensure you're using a smooth motion and maintaining a good grip on the kettlebell.
5. Once the kettlebell is back in the starting hand, straighten up slightly before going back into the semi-squat position and repeating the movement.
6. Keep the movement smooth and continuous for the desired number of repetitions.
Tips: Make sure to keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to protect your lower back. Do not round your back; keep it naturally arched. Keep your chest up and your gaze forward to maintain good posture. Start with a lighter weight to focus on form and gradually increase the weight as you get more comfortable with the movement. Breathe rhythmically and avoid holding your breath.
