Circuit: Block 4, Exercise 1: Kettlebell Romanian Deadlift
Start standing with your feet hip-width apart, holding a kettlebell by the handle with both hands. Your arms should be fully extended with your shoulders relaxed.
With a slight bend in your knees and your core engaged, begin to hinge (bend) at the hips, pushing your glutes backward as if you were trying to tap an object directly behind you. Keep the kettlebell in tight toward your body and maintain full extension of the arms. Your back should be flat throughout the entire movement.
Lower down until the kettlebell reaches ankle level, maintaining a flat back and keeping your core engaged. Then, drive through your heels and reverse the motion, returning to your starting position.
This counts as one rep.
Complete for 30 seconds, then immediately transition to the kettlebell sumo deadlift with a high pull.
