High Knees With Kettlebell Overview
High knees are a fantastic aerobic exercise that you can do anywhere with a kettlebell. It is a fantastic exercise for enhancing the coordination and power of the lower body. It also puts a strain on your core stability because the movement requires you to use your abs to maintain your balance. Additionally, it's a fantastic method to raise your heart rate and get your legs going!
How to Do It?
- Start with a standing position with your feet hip-width apart and a kettlebell in hand.
- Raise your right knee to hip height as you exhale while maintaining a strong core.
- Take a deep breath as you lower your right leg back to its starting position.
- Continue by using your left leg.
- Once you've reached the desired amount of repetitions, keep alternating legs.
Tips
- Maintain a tall posture during the motion.
- As you raise your knees, try not to let them cave in.
- Make sure your arms move forward and backward in unison with your legs. You can keep your balance and increase movement effectiveness by doing this.
