Starting Position

• grasp a kettlebell or dumbbell with each hand
• stand with the legs hip width open

• hold the head up and the upper body straight
• look ahead while you do this exercise

Correct Execution

• make a big step to the side and bend the knee joint until it is parallel to the ground
• push your bottom back a bit, so that the knee cannot protrude the tiptoes in the squat, this preserves the joints
• the other foot does not move
• balance your body
• keep in mind: the feet have to be parallel
• the other leg is stretched out automatically
• bring pressure on the heel of the bent leg and push yourself back up again
• then pull back the bent leg
• repeat the exercise several times, also work out the other leg
