How to do the Kettlebell Goblet Good-Morning
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the kettlebell with both hands in front of you, arms extended.
Engage your core and keep your back straight, shoulders slightly back, and chest up.
With a slight bend in your knees, hinge forward at your hips, lowering the kettlebell towards the ground.
Lower your torso until it is nearly parallel with the ground, or as far as your flexibility allows without rounding your back.
Pause briefly at the bottom of the movement.
Keeping your back straight and core engaged, reverse the motion to return to the standing position.
Squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement for a full hip extension.
Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Ensure you maintain a neutral neck alignment by looking forward or slightly downward as you hinge, and avoid locking out your knees throughout the movement. Choose a kettlebell weight that challenges you while still allowing you to maintain proper form.
