Instructions

1. Begin by securing a gymnastics ring or a similar sturdy object at about chest height. Stand facing away from the ring, holding a kettlebell in each hand at your sides.

2. Place one foot back and put your toe through the ring, allowing your elevated leg to hang securely. This will be your starting position, with the foot on the floor slightly in front of you to provide balance.

3. With your chest up, shoulders back, and core engaged, slowly lower your body by bending the front knee. Your back leg should remain straight as it is supported by the ring.

4. Descend until your front thigh is parallel to the floor. Ensure that your front knee does not track over your toes to maintain proper form and prevent injury.

5. Pause at the bottom of the movement and then drive through the heel of your front foot to extend the knee and hip, returning to the starting position.

6. Perform the desired number of reps on one leg, then switch to the other leg and repeat for a balanced workout.

7. Keep your movements controlled, especially when lowering into the squat to maintain balance and tension in the muscles.

It's important to select a kettlebell weight that allows you to perform the exercise with proper form and control. It's also crucial to ensure that the ring is secure and capable of supporting your weight during the exercise.
