RKC Kettlebell Swing

I want to stress the importance of safety while kettlebell training – make sure that your space is clear of options and other people (especially children).

You might be wondering what is so great about the kettlebell swing? Here are a few benefits of the RKC kettlebell swing

1. Develops powerful hips
2. Strengthens the lower back
3. Fat Burner
4. All around sports conditioning

Performing a proper RKC kettlebell swing is very important to help reduce injuries and maximize the training. When performing the swing please make sure your technique is in synch: - Keep your back flat and eyes on the horizon - Feet solidly planted to the floor - Shoulders are packed and arms straight thru the swing - Keep the kettlebell handle above the knee as it passes thru the legs on the backswing - At the top of the swing,

• Body should form a straight line (almost like a standing plank) with a neutral spine
• Kettlebell should form a straight line with the arms
• Abs and glutes contracted
