Kettlebell Romanian Deadlift
Stand tall holding a kettlebell in both hands in front of your thighs with a slight bend in your knees. Hinge at the hips by pushing your glutes back, keeping your back flat and the kettlebell close to your legs as it lowers toward mid-shin. Feel a strong stretch in your hamstrings, then drive your hips forward to return to standing. Keep your shoulders pulled back and your core braced throughout the movement.
