How to perform

Stand holding a light kettlebell by the horns close to your chest. This will be your starting position.
Squat down between your legs until your hamstrings are on your calves. Keep your chest and head up and your back straight.
At the bottom position, pause and use your elbows to push your knees out. Return to the starting position, and repeat for 10-20 repetitions.
