The swing is the foundation of effective Russian kettlebell training. It teaches the hip thrust, compressed breathing, rooting, and wedging. The two arm swing enhances muscular endurance. Phil Scarito of DV8Fitness.com shows you the proper way to swing a kettlebell.

  • Fitrainer1 - If you want to do over head movements, I would recommend the Kettlebell snatch.

  • Fitrainer1- Taking the bell over head tends to disengage your core. Also in my opinion most people tend to disconnect from the shoulder and during the descent, bringing the bell below the knees making the back go into flexion. I do not recommend that, IMO.

  • Of course. Although I always recommend DD Kettlebells. 

  • akritidobhal-

    It depends on many factors, how long have you been swinging Kbells? Sometimes we find that heavier weight fixes a lot of issues. This is true in many movements. I would start with a 12k and see how that feels. Remember, it's not about the weight, its about the movement. Focus on your hips, using your hips not arms. Keep me updated and shoot me over a video to view as well.

  • just workin out in a field. pretty cool.

  • @mcclurecentral he is

  • Quick question: I have some PT trying to tell me that when I do this technique that I should be squatting down more (i.e. should be bending at my knees as well as the waist). He's says I'll throw my back out. I've checked my form in the mirror and it's just like yours. Knees are bent on the down swing, but I'm not supposed to drop my butt like this PT is saying am I?
