Double Kettlebell American 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 straight overhead. (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 heavy power exercises like power snatch.
- Add to tabata workout to increase your heart rate with a power movement.
- Use as a power exercise set along with jump rope and squat press exercises.
