Single-Leg Kettlebell Deadlift

"By focusing on one side and going heavy, you can feel your glutes on the standing leg right away," said Tara Laferrara, a NASM-certified trainer who's kettlebell-certified through Onnit Academy. "If you pick your opposite foot and draw your heel up towards the sky, you can get a little glute activation on that leg as well."

  • Hold a kettlebell in your right hand, and lift your left foot slightly off the ground.
  • Keeping your back neutral, lean your entire torso forward while raising your left leg, which should stay in line with your body. The kettlebell will lower toward the ground. Keep your left shoulder blade pulled down your back.
  • With your back straight, return upright, coming to your starting position.
  • This completes one rep. Maximise this move by keeping your right foot off the ground as you go through your reps.
