Move of the week: try functional strength training with kettlebell deadlifts
By Chloe Gray

Welcome to our weekly Move of the Week series. Every Monday, we’ll be sharing with you one of our favourite exercises – how to do them, what muscles they work and why they should be a regular part of your workout regime. This week: kettlebell deadlifts.
Deadlifts can be an intimidating move if you’re new to strength training. Before you jump straight to the barbell full of anxieties, start your deadlifting journey with a kettlebell. Not only will it allow you to easier chose a weight that works for you, a kettlebell is also better for building functional strength; its shape and size is more applicable to lifting in real life.
Don’t look away, advance lifters. Kettlebells are also still great for you – they can help you with form and grip strength in between your barbell sessions.
