Kettlebell Swing

Explanatory Video(2)

Description

The Kettlebell Swing is a powerful exercise targeting multiple muscle groups, primarily focusing on the glutes and hamstrings while also engaging the core. Begin by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the kettlebell with both hands. Hinge at the hips and slightly bend your knees, swings the kettlebell backward between your legs. Drive through your heels, extend your hips, and swing the kettlebell forward to shoulder height using the momentum generated from the lower body. Keep your core engaged and arms relaxed throughout. Allow the kettlebell to swing back between your legs again, and repeat the motion fluidly.
