## Before you start

Move gently and stop if you feel sharp pain, dizziness, numbness, or symptoms that feel unsafe. This routine is general fitness guidance, not medical care.

## Exercises

### 1. Kettlebell Sumo Deadlift

2 sets · 10 reps · 35s rest

Wide stance, chest tall, bell between the feet. Stand up by pushing the floor away.

#### Steps
- Stand with feet wider than shoulder width and toes turned out about 30 degrees.
- Set the kettlebell on the floor between your feet, directly under your hips.
- Hinge at the hips, bend the knees, and grip the kettlebell handle with both hands.
- Brace your core, lift your chest, and flatten your back into a strong starting position.
- Drive through your heels to stand up tall, finishing with squeezed glutes and locked-out hips.
- Lower the kettlebell back to the floor under control by hinging the hips back and bending the knees.

#### Cues
- Feet wide.
- Handle between feet.
- Drive hips forward.

#### Common mistakes
- Letting the knees cave inward on the way up, which loads the joints instead of the glutes.
- Rounding the lower back at the bottom of the lift, which strains the spine.
- Pulling with the arms instead of driving the floor away with the legs.
- Hyperextending the lower back at lockout instead of standing tall with squeezed glutes.

### 2. Kettlebell Row

2 sets · 10 reps · 30s rest

Hinge forward with a long spine and row both bells to the hips. Shoulders stay square.

#### Steps
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and a kettlebell on the floor outside each foot.
- Hinge at the hips with a flat back and grip both handles, letting the bells hang from straight arms.
- Brace your core and pull both kettlebells up toward your lower ribs, leading with the elbows.
- Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top and keep the elbows tucked close to your sides.
- Lower the bells slowly back toward the floor, fighting the descent for the full range.
- Repeat for the full set without losing the hinge position or rocking the torso for momentum.

#### Cues
- Hinge steady.
- Pull elbows back.
- Lower with control.

#### Common mistakes
- Standing more upright as the set goes on, which turns the row into a shrug.
- Yanking the bells up with arm-only effort instead of pulling with the back.
- Letting the elbows flare wide, which shifts work off the lats and onto the rear shoulders.
- Rounding the lower back at the bottom, which loads the spine instead of the back muscles.

### 3. Kettlebell Push Press

2 sets · 8 reps · 35s rest · both sides

A small dip from the legs helps the bell overhead, so you can press more than strict.

#### Steps
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and clean a kettlebell to the rack position at your shoulder.
- Brace your core and dip slightly at the knees and hips, keeping your torso vertical.
- Drive explosively through your heels to extend the legs and launch the kettlebell upward.
- Press the bell to full lockout overhead with the bicep alongside your ear and the wrist stacked.
- Lower the kettlebell back to the rack position under control, absorbing with a soft knee bend.
- Reset your stance and brace, then dip and drive again for the next rep.

#### Cues
- Small leg drive.
- Press overhead.
- Lock out gently.

#### Common mistakes
- Turning the dip into a deep squat instead of a short, fast drop and drive.
- Pressing with the arm before the leg drive transfers, which kills the power assist.
- Letting the wrist bend backward at lockout, which loads the joint instead of the shoulder.
- Leaning back into the lower spine to finish the press instead of pressing straight up overhead.
