Instructions

- 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.
Tips
- Keep your torso upright throughout the movement.
- Pass the kettlebell smoothly and maintain control.
- Alternate which leg steps forward with each repetition.
