Muscles

Technique

  1. Begin in a standing position with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell in one hand at arm's length.
  2. Hinge at the hips and slightly bend your knees, allowing the kettlebell to swing back between your legs.
  3. Drive through your hips and legs, swinging the kettlebell upward to chest level, then switch hands mid-air.
  4. Continue to swing the kettlebell back and forth, alternating hands with each swing.

Form tips

  1. Maintain a neutral spine and engage your core muscles throughout the movement.
  2. Use the power generated from your hips to drive the kettlebell upward.
  3. Focus on a smooth and continuous motion as you alternate hands.

Risks

  1. Start with a lighter kettlebell to practice the movement and prevent strain.
  2. Maintain a secure grip on the kettlebell to avoid accidents or slips.
