The Swing




The foundation of training with kettlebells is the swing.  The swing is strength and power in motion.  "Doing the kettlebell swing alone is superior to 99% of the sophisticated stength and conditioning programs out there" says Steve Maxwell, Senior RKC and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu World Champion. 

One-arm Swing





The one-arm swing requires more muscles to be used due to the asymmetrical load.  In order to keep your  left and right sides of your body symmetrically balanced & aligned, without any forward pull from the side the bell is on, the "non-working" side actually engages more muscles and works the hardest.
