Kettlebell One Legged Deadlift

This move is like a steady forest reach on one paw while the other leg glides back. The kettlebell adds a solid strength challenge, and your hamstrings, glutes, and core work hard to keep you balanced and smooth.

Instructions

1. Stand tall holding a kettlebell in one hand.
2. Shift weight onto one leg and soften that knee.
3. Hinge at the hips as your free leg reaches back.
4. Lower the kettlebell close to your standing leg.
5. Pause briefly when your torso and back leg align.
6. Drive through your foot and return to standing.
