DEADLIFTS
Last but not least, the deadlift. Deadlifts, like squats, involve the whole body.
However, unlike squats and lunges, you do need some weights (either a barbell, dumbbell, or kettlebell) to perform the deadlift.
Here’s how to perform a deadlift using a kettlebell.
- Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Hold the kettlebell with both hands.
- Bend your knees and lower your body until the kettlebell passes between your knees.
- Stand up slowly, driving through your heels while keeping your abs tight.
- Pause at the top of the movement.
- Repeat the movement 15-20 times.
Tips
- As this is a complex movement, take your time and perform it slowly in the beginning.
- Stretch out your lower back and hamstrings before performing this exercise.
