2. Grab a dumbbell or kettlebell in your right hand
3. Transfer your bodyweight to your left foot, concentrating on grounding through the heel and the outside of your foot
4. Lift the right leg off the ground and begin to "hinge" forward at the hip. Descend as far as you can while maintaining stability, aiming for a flat back at 90 degrees to the hips.
5. Engage core, maintain a stable shoulder, and contract the glutes on your supporting leg. Actively hold the raised leg back behind you. Breath.
6. Rise up slowly, squeezing the hips and glutes forward.
