How to Dumbbell Swing

Starting Position

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a dumbbell with both hands.

2. Extend your arms so that the dumbbell is positioned between your legs and slightly bend your knees.

Proper Form

1. Bend your knees and hips and send the dumbbell back between your legs.

2. Forcefully push your hips forward while lifting the dumbbell to shoulder height.

3. At this time, let your arms rise naturally and return to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when lifting the dumbbell and inhale when lowering it.

Precautions

1. Please use strength from your hips and leg muscles, not your back.

2. Please keep your back straight and be careful not to bend your knees excessively.
