Plank Crawl and Carry
Media Platforms Design Team
Assume a pushup position with the kettlebell on the floor between your hands. "Walk" forward, moving your hands and feet in small steps. When the kettlebell is at your waist, move it forward so it's between your hands again. That's 1 rep. Do 10, alternating the hand you use to move the kettlebell forward.
