• Start with a kettlebell between your legs, hinge at hips, swing it upward.
    Lift kettlebell to chest level, elbows high, engaging shoulders.
    Lower kettlebell back down, maintaining control. Repeat for desired reps.

    To protect yourself from injury, always maintain a flat back on any exercise.
  • Use an ankle attachment. Bring a bench over to the cables. Put the bench at incline level. The cable should be set to shoulder height.

    Then flex at the hips until you are back into your original position.
  • Loop band above knees, lie on side knees bent.
