Dumbbells Swing Instructions

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing inward.
  2. Bend your knees slightly and hinge forward at the hips, keeping your back straight and core engaged.
  3. Allow the dumbbells to hang in front of you, arms fully extended, while maintaining a slight bend in your elbows.
  4. Initiate the movement by driving your hips forward and swinging the dumbbells up to shoulder height, using the momentum generated by your lower body.
  5. As the dumbbells reach shoulder height, reverse the motion by allowing them to swing back down between your legs, maintaining control and keeping your core tight.
