Over the past decade, the kettlebell swing has grown to be one of the all-time favorite exercises in functional training and Crossfit.
It’s a great exercise that promotes:
🫁🫀 Cardiorespiratory fitness
💪🏻 Posterior chain strengthening
🧨 Explosiveness and power
🧠 Neuromuscular control
The movement in itself isn’t too complex, but it does require focus and an appropriate
technique.
❌ One of the most common mistakes we see is starting the movement by raising the arms (shoulder flexion) instead of hinging the hips (hip extension).
This mistake shifts the focus from the hamstrings and glutes to the anterior deltoid.
✔️ What you should do is extend your hips forward forcefully all the way through to get your arms going.
The kettlebell swing is a ballistic movement. Your arms act as a cable, and your hips generate the ballistic power.
