Instructions
1. Stand upright with feet together, holding a kettlebell in front of your chest with both hands. The kettlebell should be held close to the body with elbows close to the torso.
2. Take a large step to the side with one foot, keeping the other foot planted in its original position.
3. As you step out, bend your knee and push your hips back to lower yourself into a side lunge. The leg that stepped out should be bending into a squat position, while the other leg remains straight.
4. Keep your chest lifted and back straight to maintain a strong posture. The kettlebell remains in the same position in front of your chest throughout the movement.
5. Push off through the heel of the bent leg to return to the starting standing position.
6. Repeat the exercise on the other side and continue to alternate sides for the recommended amount of repetitions and sets.
Remember to keep the movements controlled and always maintain good form. Adjust the weight of the kettlebell to match your fitness level and ensure that you do not compromise your technique.
