Step 1
Stand with your feet hip-width apart. Point your toes forward. Lean your weight back into your heels. Wiggle your toes to check if all of your weight is back on your heels.
-
Step 2
Squat back as if you were going to sit in a chair. Your knees should be in line with your hips and not reaching over past your toes. Squeeze your glutes to take the strain off your knees.
-
Step 3
Hold a slight curve in your back. Without arching, focus on pulling your stomach into your spine and relaxing your back.
-
Step 4
Pull your shoulders down and back. This is an important part of maintaining proper kettlebell alignment. You can avoid straining your neck and back by keeping your shoulders in the right position.
-
Step 5
Face forward and relax your jaw and neck muscles. You are now in proper kettlebell alignment. Keeping your core muscles tight, use your legs to squat down and lift the kettlebell.
