  2. 2 Hold a kettlebell overhead in one hand with your arm fully extended, while your other arm hangs freely at your side.
  3. 3 Keeping the kettlebell arm straight, slowly hinge at your hips and lean your torso to the side opposite the kettlebell, reaching your free hand towards the floor.
  4. 4 Continue to lower your torso until you feel a stretch in your side, maintaining a straight back.
  5. 5 Engage your core and glutes to reverse the motion, returning to the upright standing position with the kettlebell still overhead.
  6. 6 Complete all repetitions on one side, then switch the kettlebell to your other hand and repeat the movement on the opposite side.
