Instructions

1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, with a kettlebell placed between your feet on the floor.

2. Keep your legs straight but not locked out at the knees.

3. Hinge at your hips and bend slightly at the knees while keeping your back straight to reach the kettlebell handle with both hands.

4. Grip the kettlebell handle firmly with an overhand grip.

5. Inhale and brace your core, glutes, and hamstrings.

6. Lift the kettlebell by extending your hips forward to a full standing position, keeping the back straight and the kettlebell close to your body.

7. Keep your head in a neutral position, aligned with your spine, and avoid rounding your back throughout the movement.

8. Exhale as you reach the top of the movement.

9. Lower the kettlebell back to the floor by hinging at the hips and keeping your legs straight, returning to the starting position.

10. Perform the desired number of reps and sets.

Remember to keep the movement controlled and avoid jerking motions. It's important to focus on form to prevent injury and maximize the effectiveness of the exercise.
