Instructions
- Hold a kettlebell in one hand and lie on your back.
- Place your free hand on the floor beside you, slightly away from your body.
- Bend the knee on the same side as the kettlebell, keeping the foot flat.
- Press the kettlebell upwards and begin to sit up, using your free elbow and hand to support.
- Once in a seated position, push your hips off the floor using the foot and hand on the floor.
- Swing the free leg behind you into a lunge position.
- Stand up from the lunge, keeping the arm with the kettlebell straight.
