1. Begin by standing straight while holding a kettlebell by your side in one hand. Stand on the leg that is on the same side as the hand holding the kettlebell.
2. Keep your back straight and slightly bend the knee of your supporting leg.
3. Hinge at the hips to lower the kettlebell towards the ground while simultaneously extending your free leg straight behind you for balance. Keep the kettlebell close to your standing leg.
4. Lower your torso until it is almost parallel to the floor, ensuring to maintain balance and control throughout the movement.
5. Engage the glutes and hamstrings of your supporting leg to reverse the motion, bring your torso back to the upright position, and lower the extended leg back to the starting position.
6. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions before switching hands and legs.
7. Always ensure you maintain a neutral spine, avoid rounding your back, and focus on moving through the hips rather than the waist.
8. Perform all repetitions on one side before switching to the other side. Aim for an equal number of repetitions on each leg to maintain balance and symmetry in your workout.
Ensure to use a weight that allows you to perform this exercise with good form and control. If new to the exercise, practice the movement without a kettlebell to become comfortable with the balance requirements and hip hinge motion.
