How to do it
Press your weight evenly across both feet throughout the entire swing arc.
- 1
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding the kettlebell with both hands in front of you.
- 2
Slightly bend your knees and hinge at your hips to initiate the swing.
- 3
Explosively drive your hips forward to swing the kettlebell up to shoulder height.
- 4
Let the kettlebell swing back down between your legs as you hinge at the hips again.
- 5
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Expert tip
Keep your core engaged and back flat throughout the swing. Drive the movement with your hips, not your arms.
Common mistakes
- ✕Squatting instead of hinging at the hips
