Instructions

Standing with a kettlebell just in front of your feet, bend down to pick it up with one hand and press it up overhead into a shoulder press. Keep your other arm out to your side for balance. From here, step one leg back in to a lunge, bringing your back knee down to the ground with control. At the bottom of the lunge your legs should both be close to a 90 degree angle. Return by forcibly extending the knee and hip of the front leg and stepping forward with the back leg to the original standing position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before changing sides.

Tip

The arm holding the kettlebell should stay straight up above your head throughout the whole exercise. Hip mobility may prevent some people from lowering their back knee to be close to the floor. In this case, lower down as far as possible as not to cause any irritation.
