1. Stance: Stand over the kettlebell with your feet about shoulder-width apart, or slightly narrower, with the kettlebell handle centered between your ankles.
2. Hinge: Hinge at your hips and slightly bend your knees, keeping your back straight and chest up. Reach down and grip the kettlebell handle with both hands. Your shins should be relatively vertical.
3. Lift: Initiate the lift by driving your feet into the floor and extending your hips and knees simultaneously. Keep the kettlebell close to your body as you stand up tall, squeezing your glutes at the top.
4. Lower: Lower the kettlebell back to the floor by hinging at your hips again, maintaining a straight back and controlled movement until the kettlebell rests lightly on the ground to complete the repetition.
