Double Kettlebell Swing Cues:
- Start exercise in a standing position: feet outside shoulder width, core engaged, kettlebells held with arms extended, shoulders back, and chest up.
- As you maintain a neutral spine, hinge forward and push your glutes backward, travel down between legs with kettlebells, and stretch out your hamstrings. (Turn wrists to hold kettlebells palms facing away from each other if needed)
-Power through your hips as you swing the kettlebells upward to shoulder height. (Turn wrists to an overhand grip at the top of the swing and remember to tighten your wrists)
- Be sure to keep your core engaged as you return to hinged position for one rep.
Ideas for Exercise Uses:
- Perform as a weighted warm-up before doing heavy deadlifts.
- Add to tabata workout to increase your heart rate with a power movement.
- Use as a superset with battle rope exercises to keep your heart rate elevated between strength exercises.
