Coaching Cues

Hold a single kettlebell in the front rack position on one side, then step up onto an elevated platform with the opposite leg, ensuring your knee tracks over your toes and your torso remains upright. Drive through your front (elevated) foot to fully extend your hip and knee at the top, then step back down under control and repeat for the prescribed reps before switching sides.
