Exercise Description

The kickstand kettle bell one leg deadlift builds single-leg strength and balance. It targets your hamstrings while fixing muscle imbalances between legs.

How To

1. Hold a kettlebell in your right hand. Step your left foot back about 12 inches, keeping just your toe on the ground for light support. 2. Keep most of your weight on your right leg. This is your working leg for the kickstand kettle bell one leg deadlift. 3. Hinge at your hips and push them back. Lower the kettlebell toward the ground while keeping your back straight. 4. Feel the stretch in your right hamstring as you go down. Your left toe stays lightly touching for balance only. 5. Drive through your right heel to return to standing. Complete all reps on one side before switching for the kickstand kettle bell one leg deadlift.

Form Tips

• Keep 90% of your weight on your working leg during the kickstand kettle bell one leg deadlift • Push your hips back first, not down - this is a hip hinge movement • Keep the kettlebell close to your body as you move up and down • Your back foot is just for light balance support in the kickstand kettle bell one leg deadlift

Common Mistakes

• Putting too much weight on the back foot instead of using it for light balance only • Squatting down instead of hinging at the hips during your kickstand kettle bell one leg deadlift • Letting the kettlebell drift away from your body during the kickstand kettle bell one leg deadlift movement
