This exercise serves as a transition from unweighted to weighted patterning of the hip hinge.
Begin standing away about a foot away from a wall, with the feet shoulder width apart, and the kettlbell placed between the heels of the feet. Adjust your stance as wide as necessary to accommodate for the kettlebell. Keeping the arms against the ribs, reach back with the hips to touch the wall while grasping the kettlebell at the bottom of this position. Inhale and pressurize the abdomen.
While maintaining spinal alignment and arms against the ribs, return to the top position by pushing the feet into the ground and extending the hips until the body forms a vertical line.
