How to do Kettlebell Single-Leg RDL

Setup

Stand on one leg holding a kettlebell in the opposite hand at arm's length, the free leg softly bent behind you and your core braced.

How to do it

  1. Hinge at the standing hip, letting your free leg extend back as the kettlebell lowers toward the floor
  2. Keep your hips square to the ground and your spine neutral
  3. Lower until you feel a strong hamstring stretch in the standing leg
  4. Drive the standing hip forward to return to tall, then switch sides after your set

Watch out for

  • Opening the hip of the lifted leg and twisting instead of keeping the pelvis level
  • Rounding the back to reach lower than your hamstring mobility allows
