Starting Position
- grasp a kettlebell or dumbbell with each hand
- stand with the legs hip width open
- let the weights hang down beside your thighs
- slightly bend the knees
- hold the head up and the upper body straight
- look ahead while you do this exercise
Correct Execution
- make a big step to the side and bend the knee joint until it is parallel to the ground
- push your bottom back a bit, so that the knee cannot protrude the tiptoes in the squat, this preserves the joints
- the other foot does not move
- balance your body
- keep in mind: the feet have to be parallel
- the other leg is stretched out automatically
- bring pressure on the heel of the bent leg and push yourself back up again
- then pull back the bent leg
- repeat the exercise several times, also work out the other leg
tip for the workout
- to make this even more effective, use a filled backpack
