How to do it

Setup. Place one kettlebell between your legs and take a comfortable stance. Bend over by pushing your butt out and keeping your back flat.

1. Pick up a kettlebell and pass it to your other hand between your legs, in the fashion of a "W". Go back and forth for several repetitions.

Cues

• Hips back, back flat.
• Pass the bell between the legs.
• Switch hands in a W pattern.
• Keep the back flat.

Common mistakes

• Rounding the back.
• Standing up between passes.

Where to start

A starting point, not a law. Pick a weight you could lift two or three more times than the top of the range. When every set hits the top of the range, add a little weight.

Go easy, or pick an alternative, if you have a cranky lower back. Pain that's sharp or gets worse set to set means stop.
