Kettlebell Rotation Lunge

Accurate?

Strengthen legs & core with this dynamic move! Lunge & twist with a kettlebell for a challenging workout. Perfect form is key.

Instructions

1. Stand upright holding the kettlebell with both hands at chest level, elbows bent. Keep your feet hip-width apart.

2. Take a step forward with one leg into a lunge position, bending both knees to about a 90-degree angle. Make sure the front knee is directly above the ankle and does not go past your toes; the back knee should be hovering just above the ground.

3. As you are lunging, twist your torso to the side of the forward leg, bringing the kettlebell to that side while keeping it close to your chest.

4. Twist back to the center, pushing through the heel of the front foot to return to the starting position.

5. Repeat the movement with the opposite leg, lunging forward and twisting to the other side.

6. Continue alternating legs for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining proper form throughout the exercise.

Safety Tips: Keep your back straight and core engaged to support your spine. Avoid letting your front knee extend past your toes to prevent knee strain. Start with a lighter kettlebell to perfect your form before increasing the weight. Breathe out as you twist and lunge, and breathe in as you come back to the starting position. If you're new to the exercise, practice the lunge without the twist first to ensure stability.
