Exercise Description

The kettlebell swing builds explosive hip power and burns calories fast. It hits your glutes, hamstrings, and core while boosting your cardio fitness.

How To

1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, kettlebell on floor between your legs 2. Hinge at hips, grab kettlebell with both hands, keep back straight and chest up 3. Stand up fast by driving hips forward, let the kettlebell swing up to chest height 4. Let gravity pull the kettlebell swing back down, hinge at hips again as it drops 5. Repeat the swing motion, keeping your core tight and using hip power not arms

Form Tips

• Drive the kettlebell swing with your hips, not your arms - think of snapping your hips forward • Keep your shoulders back and down throughout the entire kettlebell swing movement • Your knees should bend slightly, but this is a hip hinge move not a squat • Stop the swing at chest height - don't lift it overhead unless you're doing a different version

Common Mistakes

• Using your arms to lift the kettlebell swing instead of powering it with your hips and glutes • Squatting down too much instead of hinging at the hips during the kettlebell swing • Letting the weight swing too high above your head or leaning back at the top
