Cross Over Single Leg Deadlift
Exercise Overview
This is a unilateral stability exercise for the posterior chain and lower body. Start by standing on one leg and brace the core to maintain a neutral spine. Hold a kettlebell with one hand and keep a light bend in the knees during the exercise. Hinge at the hips to bend forwards. At the end range of the motion, hand the weight over to your other hand. This motion is completed to introduce a source of perturbation. Perturbations are used to challenge lower limb stability. Slowly return back to standing position to complete a repetition.
