The kettlebell rear lunge is a dynamic exercise that targets the lower body. It improves balance, stability, and leg strength by working both the quadriceps and the gluteal muscles effectively. Holding a kettlebell adds resistance, enhancing muscle engagement and promoting core stability.

How to do it

  1. Stand upright holding a kettlebell close to your chest with both hands.
  2. Step back with one leg, lowering your hips until both knees are bent at about 90 degrees.
  3. Maintain an upright torso and engage your core throughout the movement.
  4. Push through the heel of the front foot to return to the starting position.
  5. Repeat on the other leg, alternating sides for the desired number of reps.
