Strengthen Hamstrings, Quadriceps, Groin and Glutes
INSTRUCTIONS: Your stance is slightly wider than hip-width. Toes point forward. From a standing position, grip the kettlebell in both hands with palms down (pronated grip). Slowly bend your hips and knees as you lower the weight to the floor. Maintain a straight line from the crown of your head to your low back.
TECHNIQUE: Avoid rounding forward, looking up at the ceiling, or down at the floor. Maintain neutral shoulders.
MODIFICATONS: 1) Use a lighter weight. 2) Bend less at the knee. The lower you descend, the harder it is to get up.
EXERCISE DOs and DONTs – As with all exercise programs, when using exercise videos that appear on this site, you need to use common sense. If your muscles are weak, either do the modifications, or don’t attempt this exercise if it’s too difficult for you. When starting an exercise program, be sure to discuss your plans with your healthcare provider
Step 1: Assume a push up position on the knees with the body in a straight line from head to knee, feet/knees hip to shoulder width and hands 1.5-2x shoulder width. Brace the core and tighten the glutes. Press away from the floor to prevent the shoulder blades from winging.
Step 2: Lower the chest toward the floor through a maximum range of motion until the chest is a few inches off the floor or shoulders have reached elbow depth.
Step 4: Repeat. Maintain posture throughout. Keep the shoulders from elevating or rounding. Do not let the back round or arch or the hips sag or pike. Avoid letting the head jut forward.
