Kettlebell Single Side Squats
The Quadricep muscle group helps develop strength and lower body power through out the swing. And assists in hip stability, and vertical force
Starting position:
Holding a kettlebell in the catch position on one side, wrist straight, bell resting on wrist, while also touching bicep and shoulder, arm and kettlebell stays close to the body.
Movement:
Keeping your spine neutral throughout the movement begin the squat by hinging at the hips, to get them behind the torso and knees then lower the hips down to knee level, or to comfort. Return to the top of the squat by driving through the heels and squeezing the glutes to help extend the hips back to standing.
Notes: Try to allow the knees to point in the same direction as the toes, without going over the toes. Despite the weight being on one side, the goal is to maintain a neutral posture as if you had equal weight on both side. No leaning, shifting, or twisting to one side.
