    Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding a kettlebell in each hand.

    Hinge at the hips to lower your torso forward, keeping your back flat.

  3. 3

    Begin with both arms extended towards the floor.

  4. 4

    Row one kettlebell towards your side, keeping your elbow close to your body.

  5. 5

    Lower the kettlebell back to the starting position.

  6. 6

    Alternate the row with the opposite arm.

  7. 7

    Continue alternating for the desired number of repetitions.
