  1. Position your feet hip-width apart, with one foot forward and the other foot back, toes pointing forward. Hold the kettlebell close to your chest, with your elbows tucked in and your core engaged.

  3. Engage your quads by pushing through your front heel as you rise back up to the starting position, maintaining control and stability throughout the movement. Imagine your quads contracting and powering you through the exercise.
