Setup

Hold a kettlebell with both hands against your chest, cupping the body of the bell or holding it by the "horns". Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your toes pointed slightly out.

How to perform

  1. Keeping your back straight and chest up, lower your hips down and back.
  2. Descend until your hips are lower than your knees, or as far as you can with good form.
  3. Allow your elbows to track between your knees.
  4. Drive through your heels to return to the starting position.
