Sets 5 Reps 5 Rest 2-3 minutes

Rest the bar across your upper chest with your hands holding it in place and your elbows as high as you can get them. Keeping your chest up and back straight, squat down, keeping your weight on your heels. Lower until your thighs are at least parallel to the ground, making sure your knees stay wide apart, then drive back up.

Use a light barbell. Holding the bar across your shoulders, take a big step forwards, making sure you’re balanced, and lower your back knee until it’s just off the floor. Keep your back upright and your front knee in line with your front foot. Return to the start and keep alternating legs.

Sets 3 Reps 3 each side Rest 60-90 seconds

Lie holding the kettlebell in one hand straight above you. Keep your eyes on the weight and shoulder strong as you contract your abs to sit up, resting on your other hand. Bring your straightened leg back so you’re kneeling, then straighten up and stand. Slowly reverse the move back to the start.
