2: Take a large step forward with your right foot, landing on the heel first, then the ball of the foot. Keep your core engaged, and your back straight.

3: Bend your front knee, lowering your body until your back knee nearly touches the ground. Make sure your front knee stays directly above your ankle and doesn't go past your toes.

4: Hold the kettlebell close to your chest, with your elbows tucked in, and your shoulders relaxed.
