Exercise Description:
The kettlebell swing is a strength training exercise that targets the muscles in your hips, legs, and core. To perform this exercise, start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and a kettlebell positioned on the ground between your feet.
Hinge at your hips and grip the kettlebell handle with both hands, keeping your arms straight and your back flat. Engage your core muscles and explosively drive your hips forward to swing the kettlebell up to shoulder height. Allow the kettlebell to swing back between your legs and then repeat the movement to complete one repetition.

This exercise can be made more challenging by using a heavier kettlebell or by increasing the speed and explosiveness of the movement. In addition to strengthening your hips, legs, and core muscles, the kettlebell swing can also help to improve your coordination, balance, and overall athletic performance.
