Guys, take off your rings/wedding bands before doing any exercises with kettlebells, especially the ballistics!
I have a glass in a specific corner of the kitchen, I always put it in to not loose it...
You should take them off any time youre working out. I have a silicone band i wear in the gym
Yeah, no rings at the gym... I encourage anyone who doesn't believe me to Google "ring avulsion"
why?
@@Udodisgustme because the bell handle will catch on your ring; this can pinch the skin between them, resulting in a torn callus (preventing you from training for many days) or hurt your finger in many other ways. Now imagine you feel a sharp pain while swinging a kettlebell and you drop the bell, or bend over, or whatever; that can ruin your feet/back/floor/other people. There's also the fact that if you hurt your finger while wearing a ring, the flesh will swell and it may become necessary to cut the metal to take the ring off. As others have pointed out already, It's good practice to train (and do physical work) without metal jewellry on your fingers.
I started following you a few years ago when you posted a lot of kettle bell workouts on tiktok. Still here and love ur content!
Detail instructions on the kettlebell swing. Thank you and keep up the great job
this is so clear, thank youu
Good job 🌹🌹🌹
Awesome 😎
I have found that not hinging AT ALL until my arms make contact has helped my swing the most. Starting the hinge before contact makes it a more back movement.
Another 2 mistakes that make me wanna pull my hair out is when people make it too squatty or when they treat it as an arm/shoulder move. And their trainer is right in front of them while they’re doing it!!! Sad.
Good technique and teaching points!
Another common fault is using a KB that is _too light_ - the hips are powerful thrusters and it's not about _lifting_ the KB, but swinging it.
Won't a heavy one make it very hard to hold on to when swinging?
@johnsmith2136
Not really. Your forearms and grip will improve as you progress.
Start with a lighter weight e.g. 16 kgs for a man or 12 kgs for women (or a young teen starting out)
Remember you're holding with _two_ hands. Later, you will use a single hand.
@@ant7936 alright thank you
What an outstanding tutorial! Thank you.
Love that "squeezing the orange with your armpit" instruction, so easy to get it lol
Thank you Kelly. Your tutorials are fantastic. Please keep them coming 😀 Just an idea for a video in the future if your interested. A beginners guide to approaching a power lifting gym for the first time. What to look for and what questions to ask the coaches. Thanks heaps Rod.
Absolutely seconded
Thank you so much for this video! Simply put, you are an outstanding teacher. Your clarity on the seemingly simplistic and fundamental aspects of properly swinging a kettlebell are exemplary. For those of us who are in need of lucidity on the foundational particulars, this broad-scope lesson couldn’t be more appropriate-and valuable. I learned more about proper kettlebell swing mechanics, and precisely where I was going wrong, from this video than anywhere else.
The attention to detail is excellent. Thank you for your content.
Excellent tutorial!! And those QUADS!
Really like the comparison to broad jump! Don’t think I’ve heard it put that way before. Thanks!
You Are S U P E R H U M A N ! Always Informative And Sharing Technically Sound Knowlege
Kettle bell swings are a great workout. I've been doing them for a little over a year now. Form is really key here. Once you get the form down you will feel the difference within a few sessions.
I am loving your kettlebell workouts on the shred series! This was really helpful. I would also love to see a video on recovery, active recovery v. rest, etc.
I was going too low and my lower back hurts.
I was watching this teenager do one arm kettlebell swings, except he was using a dumbbell. Over the next 10 minutes he ground off his skin with the knurling until he started bleeding. I pointed out the stack of kettlebells across the gym, but he ignored me and continued mutilating himself.
If you’re gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough. 🤷♂️
wait he didn't stop? poor lad
"Imaginary oranges "😂. Super well explained and very articulate! Kudos!
Never done them, don't know if I ever will, but at least now I know how!
Correct me if I’m wrong but when lifting up we should avoid locking our knees out and slamming our joints along with when we thrust forward we should squeeze thigh muscles abs and glutes when making the hip thrust and not just slamming the hip forward
Damn it I knew none of that. Thanks for the video.
You're AMAZING at this!
Always a pleasure to watch you, keep the good work.
I did something wrong, since I did it my lower back is messed up. Lol.
Glad I'm not the only person squeezing imaginary oranges in my armpits. Thought I was the only one..
This is a great video, and excellent instruction HOWEVER, I will say - in my personal experience - consistently practicing heavy swings with 32kg+ bells will result in tree-trunk hammies.
Best kettelbell swing tutorial. The jump tip will be very useful. Thanks.
Yeah, that was a first for me. A nice visual for me to keep in my head, the broad jump analogy. Very nice and helpful. Another from Leib Stark was "Don't do the 'Drinking Bird' head positioning when swinging." He was referring to those plastic toy birds that bob back and forth drinking water from a small cup. They've been around for decades. This is the position that Kelly warns about getting dizzy from.
What great advice! Thank you!
Never seen someone go so in depth and explain a single movement so well. I hope you do this for more of the major movements, because you did a great job.
Great information.I definitely learned a lot. You are great. Thank you.
This looks like it could possibly be a good warm up for working out or leg day. Just realized this
But that's a waste of time.
When you do squats at the same time, you also work your legs, core and coordination, and with music- rhythmics, which means the nervous system ;)
I don't have as much time as you :D:D:D

Never worked with them but I have learned the correct form today, I am going to incorporate this into my workout now. Thanks.
Thank you for this. Been weight training for 20+ years, and looking for something more explosive. This tutorial was very helpful 👏🏼 👊🏼
When you put a heavy object in motion, something has to stop the momentum vertically, what would that be?
Not sure what I did wrong. My shoulders hurt from the swing. Please help.
very helpfull vidεο!THANΚ YOU!
Why do them at all, best hypertrophy comes from most stable exercises.
My compliments for the clear and complete description of every aspect of the movement (speaking from colleague to colleague)
What colleague, you working together?
@@ModernAgeShipping-gf7ii no, we don't, I said "colleague" meaning we do the same job.
how can i incorporate this into a ppl split? as a warm up should be fine or at the end of the workout?
Perfect! Will try this out ! Always wanted to do this but was uncertain about the technique. Wonderful tutorial.
I mean I knew the form but still watched the whole video😂
Yes ma'am 🖖

Does this mean youre a swinger??
thank you Kelly!
thank you very much for the information.
This is the clearer explanation that i've seen! Thanks
The gym design detailing and your athletic all-black fit (minus shoes) are giving me supervillian vibes. I like it. 🦹♀️
As a kettlebell instructor at my local gym, I'll be using some of your teaching methods in the future for the swing. Excellent work.
А ти красуня! Вітання з України👋👋
OMG, subscribed! Amazing explanations, beautiful details! Will go through all your videos. Ty!!
Holy. Crap. For years on and off I’ve been trying to get the swing to where it feels correct and consistent. Treat it like a broad jump. That was it. So damn simple. THANK YOU!!
too scared for my kneecaps 😅🙈
"....mimics a broad jump"
Nice, because I always try to keep it ballistic by pretending I'm about to jump, so I'm glad I'm on the right track. Sometimes I'll even almost leave the floor as I snap up.
Swing a 83lb do around 50
Thanks! Your instruction seems to me (new to kettlebell) very clearly observed and considered. This is the 1st of your vids I've watched. I just subscribed and look forward to more.
Nice video mate, that was explained in great detail, thank you for the insights and technique tips. It's clear that you really know your stuff. Thank you.
I teach my college athletes to NOT think of the KB swing as a deadlift. I teach them to push their butts way back, knee relaxed but not bent and reach back with their butts. I'm looking for max stretch in the hamstrings and glutes. I teach my athletes to think of the KB Swing as they do a Hang Power Clean. I tell them their body should be in the same position as it would be just before the start of the second pull in a Clean or Power Clean.
Can you also one day cover a session - working with steel mace ...different techniques. thank you in advance.
Questions:
Hi, Kelly
New Subscriber here....
1) What is the name of the GYM FLOORING?
2) What's the Website link to purchase?
3) Lastly, could you please share your experience and thoughts (Pros and Cons) about the flooring?
I'm looking to upgrade my Home Gym flooring from the traditional, interlocking Puzzle EVA mats. They tend to bunch and "pucker" up way too much.
Thank you so much....BEAUTIFUL GYM, awesome tips!
Wow !!! A really fantastic clear detailed explanation. Thank You
Excellent presentation skills, thank you for explaining this exercise in such detail!!!
Awesome clip. Btw, I really wonder what would the outcome be, if you had a video where you get trained by dr. Mike. I'm pretty sure you who he is 🤔
Hey Kelly , very good video . I can do better editing in your videos which can help you to get more engagement in your videos . Pls lmk what do you think ?
My goal is hypertrophy but I am obsessed with the muscle activation I get from hip swings. If you have better activation exercises, I'm happy to hear.
Well done! Excellent instructions. I’ll be honest. When it comes to working out, I skip over 99% of the female driven content. Maybe it was your gotch’a title , but I’m glad I clicked this. Anyone reading this, by all means keep searching for different exercises to do with Kettlebells, the more information you can acquire - the better. But I’ll say this, you will NOT find a better instructional video on how to perform the fundamental movement, than this one.💯💪
Women fitness creators are generally more direct and more scientific than the men. Half these men are on gear and vibing off junk science. Vet your sources whatever the gender, but don’t write off women.
I wonder how much she learned from Steve Cotter?
Could have shown us more of the correct way.
perfect instruction and mechanics - thanks for the content, Kelly
thank you for the video. do i have to keep my toes straight or can i curve them a little?
Best video on KB yet! Thank you 🙏
It’s ballistic but it’s not actually power
That’s not a hip hinge, that’s a partial squat.
Great explanation.
Never understood the "straight leg" method either.
What about putting the kettlebell down ?
Lol, just put it down
In front of you, same place where you picked it up
What Kettlebell Brand are u using there?
Humping the air? Lol
The devil is in the details. Thank you.
1:35 yessss! It’s not a deadlift! ❤
So are you locking your knees when standing up at top of swing?
I don’t think so bc the joint/hinge you are pushing through are your hips not your knees. You will naturally straighten your leg because of the follow through but you don’t extend your knee to bring the kb forward.
Pavel Tsatsouline is who you should watch for kettle bell tutorials
😂😂😂
Depends on which video. If you watch his first vid (RKC), that is some sloppy swing form. ETK gets better, but the TGU form isn't all that great.
@@drewbob3030 exactly. So many good teachers now.
Mark Wildman is also excellent
Sure there are, but I’m not sure how you can say that about the guy who literally introduced the system to the west. His form in those videos looks pretty good to me you must have skipped through the videos 🤔.
🎉
I have a lower back condition called Sciatica, though its been some years. I avoid heavy weights as axial loading on my spine can trigger it back. Will doing KB swings using lighter weights be of any use?
I've found that my sciatica and back spasms were a function of hamstring/hip flexibility. I've been doing Jefferson Curls and deep Bulgarian split squats as part of a morning warmup routing for several years, and I haven't had any problems. I believe swings will work the hamstrings, but maybe not in a full stretch. I'm also careful about my back, so I make sure to stop the set while the work still feels good.
Like Tony, my sciatica was made much worse by poor flexibility and tightness around my sciatic nerves. Loosening myself up took me from being close to tears several nights per week to pain free for years. I’m 20 years older now and still doing well, but I remember that pain like it was yesterday. Keep the posterior chain strong, flexible, and relaxed, whatever it takes.
nice content
which shoes are those?
An excellent tutorial, clear and to the point.
cause Pavel said so
I love your channel! 🥰😇🙌🏾😅
Great details 👍
Very detail
How does American and Russian kb swing compare?
American swings go all the way overhead. You may see them in CrossFit vids. You may also see people nearly bonk themselves on the head doing them to the point of exhaustion.
Russian version is safer. You can let go of the bell at any point and it will not land on you. It may bounced back into you, but it won;t land on you.
Forget the overhead swing. No benefit, only risk.
🙋♂️💪👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Awesome form.
Thank you for sharing.
butters!
are her arms moving the kettlebell?
No. They are holding the kettlebell. The hips are moving it.
