  1. 1

    Stand with feet hip-width apart and press the kettlebell overhead with one arm, locking out your elbow.

  2. 2

    Step forward into a lunge with the opposite leg of the arm holding the kettlebell.

  3. 3

    Keep your torso straight and your overhead arm locked as you lower into the lunge.

  4. 4

    Push back up to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching arms.

Expert tip
