Kettlebell Suitcase Carry

How to do it

  1. Stand next to a kettlebell placed by the side of the foot and hinge down to grip the handle with one hand.
  2. Stand up tall with feet hip width apart, letting the kettlebell hang straight down like a suitcase at the side.
  3. Brace the core hard against the one sided load, keeping the torso upright without leaning toward the kettlebell.
  4. Walk forward with slow, deliberate steps, keeping the hips and shoulders square and level throughout.
  5. Breathe steadily and keep the forearm grip locked while resisting any side bend at the waist.
  6. Switch the kettlebell to the opposite hand at the halfway point to load the other side evenly.
