    Hold a kettlebell with both hands in front of you.

  3. 3

    Lower your body by bending your knees and pushing your hips back, keeping the kettlebell close to your body.

  4. 4

    Go down until your thighs are parallel to the floor.

  5. 5

    Push through your heels to return to the starting position.
