How To Do A Kettlebell Swing

How to Do KettleBell Swings

 

There are a lot of different movements and exercises you can do with a Kettlebell, but the most basic one is the Kettlebell Swing.  This movement has a lot of benefits: it is a great fat burner, it works your posterior chain, and it is a good exercise for Tabata Intervals.  Personally, I use this exercise on my Saturday fun day.  I like it because it is great for working the hip flexors and providing explosion to running and sprinting that I do.

The video below is a great tutorial on how to do the movement.  As she mentions, all of the power should be coming from your hips; your arms should basically just be “straps” for the kettlebell to swing with.  So you’re not lifting with your arms, but creating the movement with the pop in your hips.

I've always hated exercise and getting on the floor, out of the question. Eight weeks ago, I didn't know what to expect or if I could successfully do the program. Philip was so patient with me and trained me at a level that I could sustain. I have never been excited about working out. I actually began to look forward to working out with him. At the end of the eight weeks, I feel stronger, I have more energy, and my sleep has improved. I'm even down seven pounds. I was so pleased with the results that I signed up for an additional eight weeks. Thanks Philip!  (Individual results may vary)
