One Arm Kettlebell Swings

A dynamic exercise that targets the entire body with a focus on core and shoulder strength.

Instructions

• Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell in one hand.
• Bend your knees slightly and hinge at your hips to lower the kettlebell between your legs.
• Drive through your hips and swing the kettlebell up with a straight arm to shoulder level, keeping your core tight.
• Allow the kettlebell to swing back down between your legs, maintaining control.
• Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and switch arms.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using the arm to lift the kettlebell instead of using hip drive.
• Swinging the kettlebell above shoulder height.
• Not keeping a straight back during the movement.
• Allowing the kettlebell to control the movement instead of maintaining control.
