How to: Kettlebell Swing

The Kettlebell Swing exercise targets the posterior chain including the glutes, hamstring, and erectors. This not only helps strengthen the core but is a low impact way to build cardiovascular fitness and aerobic capacity. While it works the posterior chain, it really is a full body exercise including feet, quads, forearms and more!

Love the 'break the bell' (humerus external rotation) instruction to flly engage the latissimus dorsi!! Do you maintain this lat engagement throughout? TIA

Yours seemed to be more of a squat than what I’ve seen others do. I like this way, but so many people insist this is improper technique, and that there should be less squat and more hip hinge. Thoughts?

[@timd1755]

Is this not an American KB swing and a KB Swing should be more of a hip hinge and only slightly bent knees with the shoulders not doing any work, and the drive coming from the hips to actually get the KB up, with the shoulders and arms acting as a pendulum?

[@ragabash2077]

If you squat, you will break the alignment of your back and therefore loose power of your posterior chain.

Way too much squat there. More hinge less squat.
