Kettlebell Lunge (Overhead)

How to do it

1. Press a kettlebell overhead in one hand, locking out the elbow directly above your shoulder, and stand with feet hip-width apart.
2. Brace your core to keep your torso upright and the kettlebell stacked overhead throughout the movement.
3. Step backward or forward into a lunge, bending both knees while keeping the overhead arm steady.
4. Press through the front heel to drive back up to standing, keeping the kettlebell locked out overhead.
5. Exhale as you press up and inhale as you lower into the lunge, completing all reps on one side before switching the load to the other arm.
6. A common fault is letting the overhead arm drift forward, so keep the wrist stacked over the shoulder throughout each rep.
