WHAT

The KB 2-hand Swing is an explosive hip extension movement, that requires skillful hip hinging and upper body timing and control.

HOW

hold the KB with 2 hands and hinge the hips to initiate a swing. Rapidly drive hip extension to swing the KB upwards. Control the down swing with a hip hinge swinging the KB between the legs.

WHY

KB swings help to build stability, endurance, and speed in a whole-body movement. When performed correctly, the lower body drives the KB upwards (under a stable core) with minimal swinging of the arms.
