Suitcase Deadlift - Kettlebell

Is this for yourself or for a patient?

HOW: Stand with a kettlebell on the ground at the outside of one foot. Have your feet about shoulder width apart, hinge forward at the hips with your back flat, bend your knees and reach down to grab the kettlebell. From here, push into the ground with your feet and extend your body back up straight while holding onto the kettlebell. 

FEEL: You should feel your lower body muscles working as well as your arm and back muscles on the side holding the weight. 

COMPENSATION: Don’t lean to the side picking up the weight, stay strong and upright.
