Use this warm-up when you feel you need to take an extra few minutes at the start of your workouts to get your whole body moving better. Alternatively, pick individual drills based on those you feel you’ll benefit most from. 

On your “off” days you’ll also benefit from using this as a recovery session.

SETUP 
▪️Grip a kettlebell in one hand and press it over- head. 
▪️Your feet are just wider than shoulder-width apart. Adjust this depending on what ab feels best.  ▪️Slightly turn out the foot on the opposite side of the kettlebell.  ▪️Keep your eyes on the kettlebell at all times. 
 PERFORMANCE 
1️⃣ Initiate the movement by pushing back your hip on the side of the kettlebell and slightly to the side. 
2️⃣ Your free hand is on the inside of your turned-out leg. 
3️⃣ As you push your hip back, your hand traces down the inside of the opposite leg and toward  the floor. 
4️⃣ Bow over while keeping your spine neutral and knees at the same angle. 
5️⃣ Keep the kettlebell pressed overhead. As you come down, your arms stay vertical, strongly holding the kettlebell overhead.
6️⃣ Lower as far as you can without bending your knees or spine. You should feel a stretch on one side of your body. 
7️⃣ Return to the top with an exhale. 
8️⃣ You can practice without a kettlebell to start with.
