Repeat for 10-20 repetitions, and then switch to the other leg.

Stand with your torso upright holding a kettlebell in your right hand. This will be your starting position.

As you lunge, pass the kettlebell under your front leg to your opposite hand.
Pressing through the heel of your foot, return to the starting position.
Repeat the movement for the recommended amount of repetitions, alternating legs.
