How to do it

Lifting a kettlebell from the floor with a hip hinge. It strengthens your glutes, hamstrings and back and teaches the safe way to lift.

  1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and a kettlebell on the floor between your feet.
  2. Push your hips back and bend your knees to reach the handle, keeping your back flat and chest up.
  3. Grip the handle, brace your stomach and stand up by driving your hips forward.
  4. Lower it back to the floor the same way.

Tips and safety

  • Keep the kettlebell close to your body.
  • Start light and learn this before the kettlebell swing.

Move within a comfortable range and stop if you feel pain. If you have an injury or health condition, check with a qualified professional first.
