Lower the weight to the floor to return to the start.

Stand with your feet roughly two and a half times shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell upside down, in both hands, at chest height.
Lower into a squat, moving your weight slowly across onto one leg until the other is straight and resting on the heel.
Slowly shift your weight back across to the centre and then on to the other leg.
Too tough? Ditch the kettlebell and work with your bodyweight only.
