Place the kettlebell on the floor right below you. You want stand with your feet a bit wider than shoulder width apart and turn your knees out slightly. Think of like you're making a V shape with your feet. Now, as you get ready to squat down, keep your chest up and your spine nice and straight. Here's a key tip, brace your core like you're about to take a punch in your stomach. That means tighten up your abs and imagine you're creating a stable belt around your middle. This will help protect your back and keep you stable. As you squat down to pick up the kettlebell, think about externally rotating at the hip, in other words, imagine you're trying to split the floor apart with your feet. This helps line up with your toes and really activate your glutes. When you're ready to lift, take a breath in at the bottom, brace that core and drive up through your heels. As you standup, exhale at the top. Then you'll just repeat the movement and each time just remember -- keep that core tight, your knees tracking over your toes and maintain that strong posture.
