About

The movement of the hip joint is the core of the movement of the kettlebell back and forth. It strengthens the core, has cardio effects, and it also enhances your physical strength!

How to Kettlebell Swing

Starting Position

1. Please stand shoulder-width apart.

2. With the kettlebell in hand, push your hips back and lean your upper body forward.

3. Keep your chest up and your back straight.

4. The kettlebell should be positioned between your legs.

Proper Form

1. Hold the kettlebell with both hands and spread your feet wider than shoulder-width with your toes pointing outward.

2. Raise the kettlebell to shoulder height, then naturally push your hips back and bend your knees to bring the kettlebell between your legs.

3. Momentarily contract your hips while straightening your knees to raise the kettlebell back to shoulder height.

4. Keep your arms in a straight line and repeat the movement.

Breathing Technique

Inhale while lowering the kettlebell and exhale while raising the kettlebell.

Precautions

The role of the hips and core is very important in exercise. Just by moving the hips back and forth while engaging the core, the movement can become more natural.
