Kettlebell Swing

Starting position

• Feet slightly wider than shoulder width, kettlebell on the floor in front of you.
• Grip with a straight back, hips back.

Execution

• Swing the kettlebell back between the legs.
• Drive the hips forward explosively; the kettlebell swings up to chest height.
• The power comes from the hips, not the arms.

Common mistakes

• Bending at the knees like a squat.
• Lifting with the arms.
• Rounded back.
