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.
