How to do a kettlebell one arm legged deadlift

Setup:

1. Kettlebell & Stance: Stand holding one kettlebell in the hand opposite your standing leg. Start with your feet hip-width apart.
2. Foot Position: Shift your weight to the standing leg and slightly lift your non-standing foot off the ground.
3. Kettlebell Position: Keep the kettlebell at your side, arm straight and relaxed.

The Lift:

1. Hinge & Extend: Keeping your back straight and core engaged, hinge forward at the hips while extending your non-standing leg straight back behind you. Lower the kettlebell towards the ground.
2. Feel the Stretch: Continue lowering until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings and glutes.
3. Return to Start: Drive through your heel to return to a standing position, bringing your extended leg back down to the ground.

Tips:

• Balance: Maintain your balance on the standing leg throughout the movement.
• Core Engagement: Keep your core engaged to protect your lower back and maintain stability.
• Hip Hinge: Focus on the hip hinge motion, keeping your back flat and chest up.
• Free Leg: Keep your non-working leg straight and aligned with your torso as you hinge forward.
• Variation: You can also perform this exercise with the kettlebell in the same hand as your standing leg for a different challenge.
