Complete 2 sets, approx. 6-10 reps each side

Hold a KB in one hand to start. Lunge forward, pass KB to your opposite hand between your legs, and stand up. Try to maintain balance and control throughout the exercise. Heavier KBs will make this task even harder.

Hold a KB in both hands. Swing it back between your legs while hinging forward and bending your knees lightly. Then “throw” and accelerate the KB in front of your body while straightening up in your waist. Bring KB all the way above your head. When KB is above your head, it will push you backwards; make sure that you “fight” this by  tightening your core, upper body muscles. This exercise shouldn’t stress your lower back - when swinging upwards you should feel the power coming from your glutes and core.
