How to do Kettlebell deadlifts
Begin standing with the kettlebell placed between your feet. Have the feet about hip distance apart and hold one kettlebell in your hands with the arms straight.
Assume a hinge position as you push the hips back, bend the knees slightly, and engage your abdominals to keep a neutral spine.
Pull the shoulder blades down and back to engage the lats.
Then, straighten the legs as you raise the kettlebell straight up off the ground while keeping it close to your shins and thighs.
Once your legs are straight, lower the kettlebell back down to the ground using control and re-assume the hinge position.
Repeat for the desired repetitions.
