One-legged deadlift

One legged deadlifts are a great way to target your hamstrings and glutes and help improve your balance and coordination at the same time.

Begin by holding a kettlebell with two hands and your feet together. Make sure your shoulders are relaxed.

Balance on your right leg, keeping a slight bend in your knee. Think about pushing your hips backwards, rather than trying to reach the floor with your kettlebell. You want to keep your back and hips in a straight line. Push your heel into the floor. It also helps to keep your head in a neutral positon (don’t look straight down at the floor; instead, look ahead or slightly in front of you on the floor).

If you want to use a heavier kettlebell, you can also do this exercise by keeping both feet on the floor throughout the movement, similar to a Romanian deadlift. Keep your feet shoulder width apart, and as you push your hips back, think about reaching behind your heels with the kettlebell.
