How to do it
Brace your abs before each descent and hold that tightness throughout.
- 1
Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding a kettlebell in front of you with both hands.
- 2
Hinge at the hips and push your buttocks back, keeping a slight bend in the knees.
- 3
Lower the kettlebell down along the front of your legs, maintaining a flat back.
- 4
Lower until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings, then drive through your heels to return to the starting position.
- 5
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Expert tip
Keep your back flat and hinge at the hips rather than rounding your back to ensure proper form and prevent injury.
Common mistakes
- ✕Bending the knees too deeply into a squat
