Kettlebell Step Up

Weighted step ups using a kettlebell are an effective exercise to target your legs, glutes, and core muscles. To perform this exercise you will need a kettlebell and a bench or sturdy platform. Here are the steps:

1. Begin by standing in front of a bench or sturdy platform with your feet hip-width apart, holding a kettlebell in your right hand at your side.
2. Place your right foot on the bench or platform, making sure your entire foot is flat on the surface.
3. Inhale and step up onto the bench or platform, driving through your right foot and keeping your left foot off the bench.
4. Keep your core tight and maintain a tall posture as you stand fully upright on the bench or platform with your right leg.
5. Exhale and step your left foot back down to the ground, maintaining control and keeping your balance.
6. Repeat for the desired number of reps on your right leg before switching to your left leg.
