Kettlebell swing

25 reps

Stand with your feet slightly wider than your hips and the kettlebell on the ground in the centre of your body; bend your knees to pick up the kettlebell. Keep your core engaged as you swing the kettlebell up to chest height.

Exhale as you swing it up and inhale as you lower the kettlebell and swing it through your legs. It’s imperative to keep your core muscles engaged in protecting your back.

Hold the kettlebell by the horns at chest level, standing with your legs wider than your hips and your toes facing forward. Bend your knees as you lower the body into a squat position. Keep your chest proud, core engaged, and heels heavy on the ground. As you straighten your legs to the starting position, exhale and squeeze your glutes.  Repeat.

Next, bend the elbow to straighten the arm back down and lower the kettlebell towards the floor. Do five on the right side and repeat on the left side. Again, remember to keep your core engaged.
