How to do it

Keep both feet rooted and flat as you hinge sideways.

  1. 1

    Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell in your right hand with an overhead lockout.

  2. 2

    Turn your feet at a 45-degree angle away from the kettlebell.

  3. 3

    Keeping your right arm extended overhead, push your hips to the right and slide your left hand down your left leg.

  4. 4

    Lower your torso until you feel a stretch in your right hamstring, keeping the kettlebell stable.

  5. 5

    Reverse the motion to return to the starting position.

  6. 6

    Complete the desired number of repetitions before switching sides.

Expert tip

Keep your eyes on the kettlebell throughout the movement to maintain balance and proper alignment.
