Exercise Profile

Kettlebell Swing Overview

The kettlebell swing is a dynamic workout that primarily targets the quads, glutes, and lower back.

Using a kettlebell, the exercise involves a hip hinge movement to swing the weight between the legs and up to chest level.

While it also engages secondary muscles, the focus remains on the targeted areas for an effective full-body workout.
