Commentary

The kettlebell tibialis raise is an exercise for the tibialis anterior muscle at the front of your calves.

Using a kettlebell is an easy way to progressive overload. As you get stronger, you can use a heavier kettlebell.

The tibialis anterior generally does not need to be trained separately, but if you experience shin problems, have unstable feet, or participate in sports that involve running or jumping, it can be a useful addition to your training.
