The Kettlebell Swing – A Great Glute Exercise
The Kettlebell Swing is taught a variety of ways, but there are two main “variations” – the Russian swing and the American swing.
I personally only ever use the Russian style, hip hinge swing ending no higher than chest height. So below I’m going to go over form for that hip hinge movement instead of the American style overhead swing.
The Kettlebell Swing can be a great glute exercise to help you improve your power and your strength. It can also be a great conditioning exercise that is lower impact.
And of course, it also is great to build grip strength!
It is even thought by many to be one of the best, if not the best, explosive glute exercise!
Below learn how to do the basic Kettlebell Swing as well as some fun variations!
