How to do it

1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding a kettlebell in each hand by your sides with your arms fully extended.
2. Step your right foot back and lower your body into a lunge, bending both knees until your left thigh is parallel to the floor and your right knee hovers just above the ground.
3. Push through the heel of your front foot to drive yourself back to the starting position, bringing your right foot forward.
4. Repeat the movement with your left leg stepping back. Alternate legs for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

• Keep your torso upright and avoid leaning forward; your chest should stay proud throughout the movement.
• Ensure your front knee stays aligned with your ankle and does not travel past your toes.
• Step back far enough so that both knees form approximately 90-degree angles at the bottom of the lunge.
