  4. As you lunge, simultaneously press the kettlebell overhead until your arm is fully extended.
  5. Push through your right heel to return to the starting position, while lowering the kettlebell back to the starting position.

Kettlebell Overhead Reverse Lunge Tips

  1. Start by standing tall with your feet hip-width apart, holding a kettlebell in one hand with your palm facing inward towards your body. Engage your core and maintain a strong, upright posture throughout the exercise.
  2. Take a step back with the same side leg as the hand holding the kettlebell, ensuring your feet are aligned with your hips. As you step back, lower your body into a lunge position, bending both knees to approximately 90 degrees.
  3. While maintaining control, press the kettlebell overhead, fully extending your arm and engaging your shoulder muscles. This overhead position will challenge your stability and core strength, while also targeting your quads and glutes.
  4. As you push through your front heel, drive yourself back up to the starting position, using the strength of your quads and glutes to power the movement. Keep your chest lifted and your core engaged throughout the entire exercise.
  5. Repeat the movement on the opposite side, alternating legs and arms with each repetition. Focus on maintaining proper form and control, rather than rushing through the exercise. With consistent practice, you’ll gradually increase your strength and improve your form, allowing you to fully engage your quads and glutes for maximum results.
