Transcription from the Audio
Last but one exercise of this kettlebell cardio challenge and it’s our old faithful, the double handed swing. Now as you know by now, double handed swings are about those hips. It’s not squatting movement. It’s a hip movement. Hips go backwards, loading those hamstrings and glutes, head is looking down. Drive those hips forward, kettlebell comes up to parallel and we absorb the weight back as the bell comes down through the hamstrings and through the glutes, and drive back up again. So you can do 20 in total.
Let me just demonstrate them. Remember the starting point is really important. Kettlebell is in front, back’s nice and flat. Point it backwards and then snap as we stand up. Point. Snap. Careful how you put the kettlebell down as well. You need that control. You need a flat back when you put the kettlebell down. Don’t lose focus when you’re popping down. So you just got 20 repetitions to do of the double handed swing. It’s getting tough now, because we’re almost at the end. So make sure you focus. Get that technique right. Stand tall and use those glutes. Twenty to do.
