The kettlebell swing is a dynamic move that builds full-body strength and explosive power, working the posterior chain as well as the upper body. Follow these tips to help you nail your next swing session.
Instructions
1.
Set up strong.
Position the kettlebell 1 to 2 feet in front of you so that when you hinge your hips back you can reach the handle with both hands. Ensure that your back is flat and your weight is evenly distributed across your feet.
2.
Channel your power.
On each downswing, aggressively push the kettlebell down and back behind you, aiming it for the triangle between your knees and pelvis.
3.
Get weightless.
On the upswing, powerfully thrust your hips forward to launch the weight up; don’t use the strength of your arms to lift the kettlebell. It should feel as if the weight is almost floating at the top of the swing.
