How to do it

  1. Hold a kettlebell in one hand and stand on the leg on the same side, knee slightly bent.
  2. Hinge at the hips and lower your body while your free leg reaches straight back.
  3. Go down until your body is nearly level with the floor, or as far as you can stay balanced.
  4. Stand back up; finish your reps, then switch sides.

Do all reps on one side, then switch.

Beginner tip: Lightly touch a wall or rack with your free hand for balance at first.
