You can use a kettlebell to perform deadlifts, figure 8s, swings, Russian twists, and lawnmowers. Stand straight and tall, legs hip-width apart. Grip the kettlebell with both hands. Keeping your abs tight and your back straight, bend at the waist while bringing the kettlebell close to the ground. Squeeze your glutes and slowly return to a standing position. Try this deadlift while balancing on one leg.
