Kettlebell Forward-Backward Goblet Lunge

Kettlebell Goblet Forward-Backward Lunge

1. Starting Position:

   • Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart.

   • Hold the kettlebell with both hands close to your chest. Your elbows should be tucked in and pointing down towards the ground.

2. Setting Up for the Lunge:

   • Engage your core by pulling your belly button towards your spine.

   • Keep your chest up and shoulders relaxed.

3. Performing the Forward Lunge:

   • Step forward with your right leg, lowering your body until both knees are bent at about a 90-degree angle. Your back knee should hover just above the ground.

   • Ensure that your front knee does not extend past your toes.

   • Keep the kettlebell close to your chest for stability.

4. Returning to Starting Position:

   • Push through the heel of your front foot and return to the starting position by stepping back with your right leg.

5. Performing the Backward Lunge:

   • From the starting position, step back with your right leg, lowering your body until both knees are bent at about a 90-degree angle.

   • Again, keep your front knee above your ankle and your chest lifted.

6. Returning to Starting Position:

   • Push through the front heel and step forward to bring your right leg back to the starting position.

7. Repeating the Movement:

   • Alternate legs by stepping forward with your left leg and then stepping back with your left leg.

   • Continue alternating for your desired number of repetitions (start with 5-10 on each leg).

Tips:

• Maintain a steady pace and focus on your form throughout the movement.

• Breathe in as you lower into the lunge and breathe out as you push back to the starting position.

• If using a heavier kettlebell, consider practicing without weight first to master the lunge technique.
