Instructions
1. Stand straight with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a kettlebell in front of your chest with both hands, gripping it by the handle.
2. Engage your core and keep your chest lifted throughout the exercise.
3. Take a big step to the side with one leg, bending the knee of the stepping leg as you send your hips back into a lunge. Your other leg should remain straight.
4. Lower your body until the thigh of your bending leg is parallel to the floor, keeping the knee in line with your toes.
5. Push through the heel of the bent leg to return to the starting position by contracting your glutes and quads.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching legs.
7. Perform equal reps on both sides to maintain muscle balance.
Make sure to keep the kettlebell stable throughout the movement and avoid letting your knees go past your toes in the lunging leg to ensure proper form and reduce the risk of injury.
