Kettlebell swing

KettlebellIntermediate

How to

  1. 1

    Stand a little wider than shoulder-width with the kettlebell slightly in front of you.

  2. 2

    Hinge at the hips, grab it with both hands and hike it back between your legs.

  3. 3

    Snap your hips forward explosively so the bell floats up to chest height.

  4. 4

    Let it swing back down and flow straight into the next rep.

Tips

It's a hip snap, not a squat or a front raise.
