About

Use a kettlebell to work your hamstrings, glutes, and core.

How to Kettlebell Staggered Deadlift

Starting Position

1. Stand with the kettlebell on the floor in front of your feet.

2. Place one foot slightly in front to create a staggered stance.

3. Slightly bend your knees and keep your chest up.

Proper Form

1. Bend forward at the waist while pushing your hips back and grab the kettlebell with both hands.

2. Stand up by straightening your hips and knees while lifting your torso.

3. Push your hips back again, allowing the kettlebell to lower along the front of your shins.

4. Switch your front and back feet and repeat the same movement.

Breathing Technique

Inhale when lowering the kettlebell and exhale when standing up.

Precautions

1. Move by feeling like you're folding at the hips first, without bending your waist.

2. Keep your knees and toes aligned.

3. Start by familiarizing yourself with the movement using a light kettlebell.
