Instructions
Step-by-step technique
Lie on your back holding a kettlebell overhead in one hand, arm locked straight.
Bend the same-side knee with foot flat on the floor; extend the other leg.
Roll up to your opposite elbow, then press to a straight arm on the floor.
Lift your hips and sweep the extended leg back to a half-kneeling position.
From the half-kneeling position, bring your back foot forward to stand into a squat stance.
Drive through your heels to stand fully upright — KB remains locked overhead.
Reverse the sequence: squat down, kneeling, hips down, roll back to the floor.
Complete all reps on one side before switching arms.
