How to do it

Keep your gaze forward and chin level throughout the rotation.

  1. 1

    Stand with feet hip-width apart holding a kettlebell by the handle with both hands in front of your chest.

  2. 2

    Step forward into a lunge position with your right leg.

  3. 3

    As you lunge, twist your torso to the right, keeping the kettlebell at chest height.

  4. 4

    Twist back to center as you push through your right heel to return to the starting position.

  5. 5

    Repeat on the left side and continue alternating for the desired number of repetitions.

Expert tip

Maintain a strong core throughout the exercise and ensure your lunge form is correct before adding the twist to prevent any strain on the lower back.
