Someone who knows that all too well is Roxanne Russell, a personal trainer with more than 700 dumbbell and kettlebell workouts on her YouTube channel, Workout With Roxanne<\/a>.<\/p>\n You may like<\/p>\n Having spent so much time devising workout routines, she\u2019s well-versed in finding fresh twists to add to foundational moves.<\/p>\n \u201cI like to have a good amount of variety,\u201d she tells Fit&Well, and says adding new challenges to well-known exercises helps to keep people engaged and motivated to exercise.<\/p>\n Case in point is the kettlebell lunge pass-through\u2014a movement most people haven\u2019t tried, but Russell says would benefit from.<\/p>\n What is the kettlebell lunge pass-through?<\/p>\n You\u2019ve probably come across a lunge before, or some variation of it. It\u2019s a unilateral exercise<\/a> that challenges your lower-body muscles and your balance.<\/p>\n Once you\u2019ve mastered the form and are looking to progress the movement, Russell recommends passing a kettlebell between your legs from one hand to the other mid-lunge.<\/p>\n Russell says the move is a great challenge for your brain, testing your coordination and forcing you to think about how you\u2019re moving. It\u2019s also great for glute activation.<\/p>\n \u201cIt has similar benefits to a lunge, but you\u2019re hinging forward when you pass the kettlebell,\u201d says Russell, \u201cwhich means you\u2019re using your glutes more than your quads.\u201d<\/p>\n How to do the kettlebell lunge pass-through<\/p>\n 30 Min FULL BODY Supersets | NO REPEAT Kettlebell | No Jumping – YouTube
