How to do it

1. Place two kettlebells on the floor between your feet, take a wide stance and hinge at the hips with your knees bent until your torso is close to parallel to the floor. Grab a handle in each hand.
2. Brace your core, press one kettlebell into the floor and row the other toward your hip, driving your elbow back.
3. Lower it back to the floor with control.
4. Row with the other arm and keep alternating sides.

Form tips

• Keep your hips low and still; don't rotate your torso as you row.
• Press the grounded kettlebell into the floor to stay stable.
• Keep your back flat and your neck in line with your spine.
