Kettlebell swing intervals
Trains the aerobic system and the posterior chain together, in ten minutes and one piece of kit.
What it works
Hamstrings, Glutes, Cardio
How to do it
- 1Hinge at the hips with a flat back, hike the bell back between your legs like a rugby pass, then snap the hips forward hard to float it to chest height.
- 2The arms are ropes, the hips are the engine — never lift it with the shoulders.
- 3Lock the glutes at the top and let the bell fall before hinging again.
- 4Done properly this is a hinge and a conditioning tool at once; done as a squat-and-lift it's neither.
Cues that matter
- ›Hinge, don't squat — the bell floats, you don't lift it
- ›Snap the hips, glutes hard at the top
- ›Breathe out sharply at the top of each swing
