Getting started with your first Kettlebell Workout.
By far the most important kettlebell movement you will ever have to
learn and master is the Kettlebell Swing. If you only ever got good
at one movement then this is the one.
The Swing is based upon the deadlift movement pattern and so targets
the majority of muscles in the body. It's even great for shoulder
rehab and stability.
Lets start with the double handed swing:
1. Ensure that you snap your hips forward fully and squeeze your glutes
2. Actively sit your hips backwards in the downward phase
3. Keep your chest up and don't reach too far back with the kettlebell
4. Work on your timing
Here's a great workout to start with:
Double Handed Swing 20 seconds
Rest 10 Seconds
Repeat 8 times
You can use this workout no matter what level you are at just increase
the weight and really work on perfecting your technique.
Happy Swinging,
Bruce
