• Begin by standing in front of a sturdy box or bench that is about knee-height, holding a kettlebell in one hand
    Place your right foot on the box and push through the heel to lift your body up and onto the box, keeping your left foot off the ground.
    Step back down with your right foot, lowering your left foot to the ground.
  • Standing up straight, using a bench as a step, raise one foot onto the bench and hold the kettlebell in the same arm as the straight leg.
    Stand and bring both feet onto the bench. Slowly lower your leg back down to the starting position.
    Repeat.
  • Place your legs on the bar with your feet at shoulder width.
    Release the weight and extend your legs fully, without locking your knees.
    Lower the weight until your legs are at a 90° angle (but DO NOT allow your butt and lower back to rise off of the floor. This will put your lower back in a rounded position, which is very dangerous.)
    Raise the weight back to starting position.
  • Place the bar on top of your traps. Take a narrow stance.
    Push your hips back and break at the knees. Push your elbows forward to keep yourself from getting pitched too far forward.
    Aim to get your hamstrings to parallel with the floor.
    Push your heels into the floor and squat back to a standing position.
