Cues d’entraînement

Stand tall holding a kettlebell in each hand at your sides with a neutral grip. Step one leg diagonally behind and across your body into a curtsy lunge, lowering your hips until your back knee nearly touches the floor; return to standing and repeat on the opposite side, alternating each rep. Keep your chest up and core engaged throughout to maintain balance and proper posture.

What this exercise is for

Double Kettlebell Suitcase Alternating Curtsy Lunge is a squat-focused pair movement in the KB Pro library. It is categorized primarily under quadriceps work and is best treated as a beginner-to-beginner skill anchor rather than filler volume.

The movement uses compound mechanics and tends to load the lower body chain most directly while forcing side-to-side control through unilateral loading. In practice, that means it fits best when you want a movement with a clear role inside the session rather than something ambiguous or redundant.

Skill and coaching notes

This movement is tagged at the beginner level, so the useful question is whether the athlete can keep positions clean under fatigue, not just whether they can complete a single rep.

If you are programming for general training rather than testing, keep Double Kettlebell Suitcase Alternating Curtsy Lunge in a role that reinforces quadriceps work without forcing sloppy compensations from heavier or more technical lifts in the same session.

The cues on file reinforce the main coaching priority: Stand tall holding a kettlebell in each hand at your sides with a neutral grip. Step one leg diagonally behind and across your body into a curtsy lunge, lowering your hips until your back knee nearly touches the floor; return to standing and repeat on the opposite side, alternating each rep. Keep your chest up and core engaged throughout to maintain balance and proper posture.
