Kettlebell side lunge
Suggested start: 2–3 sets · 8–12 reps per leg · rest 2 min between sets
Lowered side lungeKettlebell
Step sideways with a bell held close to your chest. Sit back over the stepping leg while the other leg stays long.
How to do it
Hold the bell close
Grip the horns with both hands at your chest. Stand hip-width apart, feet facing forward, and brace your middle.
Step to the side
Take a controlled step to your right, keeping both heels grounded and feet mostly forward.
Sit back over that leg
Bend the right hip and knee while keeping the left leg nearly straight. Let the right knee follow your toes and keep your back long.
Push back to standing
Press through the right foot to return. Finish that side, then repeat to the left with the bell close throughout.
Find your form
Keep in mind
- Use a shorter step if your knee falls inside your foot.
- Practice without a bell until the sideways shift feels steady.
Watch out for
- Rolling onto the inside edge of either foot.
- Dropping too deeply or bending both knees into a sumo squat.
