Before learning the kettlebell swing it’s important to teach your nervous system what to expect when the weight is in your hand. The top of the kettlebell swing is a plank, in the plank position you will engage the same muscles to stabilize your bodyweight that you will be engaging at the top of the swing to stabilize a kettlebell. A kettlebell swing is essentially a plank in motion. Make sure to come all the way up to standing but don’t arch your back at the top. Feel this posture with bodyweight before using a kettlebell, flex your glutes but don’t hip extend. Keep a tight abdomen but don’t flex in the spine. You want to be standing as straight up and down, or planked out, as possible, with every joint directly above the one below it. Teach the nervous system strength within a given range of motion and it will develop consistency in flexibility faster than anything else.
