Today I’m going to share one of my new favorite exercises with you.
It’s called the kettlebell threaded lunge and it very well may be the best lower body exercise that you’re NOT doing.
This exercise works your lower body in all 3 planes of movement to help build bulletproof knees to prevent unwanted injuries for both recreational and competitive athletes.
Plus, the passing of the kettlebell between your legs, whether it be in an inside or outside passing format, forces your abs and lower back muscles to work hard to fight against unwanted spinal flexion to really build a rock solid core.
Lastly, it’s just a fun movement. It’s like juggling a kettlebell while doing lunges which is a lot more exciting than just plain old lunges, ha!
Watch the 60-second video complete Level I, II, and III progressions so you too can thread your way to leaner, sexier legs:
Threaded Lunges
Start by holding the kettlebell in one hand off to your side
Step backward into a reverse lunge and pass the kettlebell underneath the front leg, into the opposite hand
As you return to standing keep the kettlebell in the hand that it is currently in
Step back with the opposite leg, once again pass the kettlebell underneath the front leg into the initial hand
Repeat this pattern, alternating sides
Crank it!
