How to do it

  1. 1

    The Kettlebell single leg deadlift is a powerful move for building the glutes, improving muscle tone, and sharpening balance.

  2. 2

    Your core also has to work hard during the Kettlebell single leg deadlift. Your abdominals and obliques contract to keep you stable, while the erector spinae muscles in your back help support your spine and allow flexibility as you bend in different directions.

  3. 3

    Kettlebell single-leg deadlifts can boost balance and help fix strength differences between the hips. When you balance on one leg, you recruit the same muscles that support stability and strength. Developing each leg’s ability to produce force can help skyrocket your back squat and deadlift numbers!
