Tutorial - Alternating Kettlebell Deadlifts

Here is a brief tutorial on how to perform alternating kettlebell deadlifts: 

With your feet shoulder-width apart and a kettlebell in between them, begin the move by bending at the knees and hips (while keeping your back flat and core tight), grasp the kettlebell with one hand, and then stand up straight. 

At that point, reverse the move to set the kettlebell back down before standing up straight (after having released the kettlebell).  Then, repeat, switching to use your other arm.

We have found this move to be very versatile and useful for density, tabata, circuit, and interval-style training.  Once you are comfortable with the movement, you may make it more challenging by increasing the kettlebell weight, number of reps performed, or time period for the exercise.
