How to Do Kettlebell Deadlifts

- Begin by kicking your hips back and slightly bending your knees. Extend your arms down to grab onto the kettlebell.
- Holding on to the kettlebell, drive your hips forward to stand back up. Slowly, reverse the movement by kicking your hips back and slightly bending the knees. Do not let your lower back arch.
