In this video you will discover the 5 best lower body kettlebell exercises.

The first exercise is the Double Kettlebell Front Squat. So, start out holding the KBs at shoulder height, push your hips back (don't bend at the knees first), break parallel, squatting as low as you can while keeping your abs braced. Then drive back up.




The next exercise is called the Tactical Lunge, or a regular lunge with a twist. First, lunge backward and as you are lunging take the KB underneath your front thigh and switch hands. Alternate sides. Be sure to keep your torso upright throughout.

The next lower body KB exercise is the Pistol Squat. So, place the KB at chest height and balance on one leg with your other leg out in front. Next, squat down as low as you can go, and drive back up. Do all reps for one side and then switch.

The 1-Leg Rear Deadlift is another great exercise to do using kettlebells. The previous exercises work the front of the thighs, whereas this will focus a lot on your hamstrings. So, hold the KB with both hands in front of you, balance on one leg and push your hips back. Now, to come back up, you will squeeze your glutes and hamstrings for a powerful contraction.

The last exercise is the Turkish Get-up. And although this is a great ab exercise, in fact it, like all the other exercises mentioned here, is an excellent total body exercise.

So, from a laying down position, hold the KB overhead with arm extended (do not let your elbow bend) and bend the leg on the same side as the arm holding the KB. Next, you want to lift your torso up and get into the lunge position and drive up. Now, to return back to your lying down position, drop your opposite knee to the ground, then your opposite hand, followed by bringing your leg through to the front and then drop your torso down and slowly lower back down to the ground, all while maintaining that pushed out position with the arm.

These are some powerful exercises for the lower body that you can do in only a small space with just one to two kettlebells.

  • The camera work in this video is poor. Instead of focusing on Craig, the camera should show the leg work...

  • If i did that pistol w/kettle bell my knee cap would explode out the front of my leg...

  • Great job, but camera needs to focus on the one demonstrating the move. You couldn't even see what the one legged dead lift looked like.

  • this is a great hockey workout.

  • @wesstrite lol

  • Craig's hand gesture clearly show how the legs should move. Craig is a great all round name and should be respected.

    Well done, Craig.

  • cant see the guy doing the exercise...

  • In the majority of the exercises you can't actually see what the guy is doing as the camera is focused on the speaker and not on the guy working out.

  • The camera needs to move out a little more so that we can see what's being done with the legs. It's too close especially with the RDL's.

  • @sigmacombatsystems

    if you are spending time trying to stabilise its because you are not that stable, imagine how much stronger you would be if you trained harder in stability! All those stabilising muscles would be hardened up! get it?

  • Like stated below, camera should be focused on the exercises.
