My new gym has kettlebells which I look forward to using more of. Tried them once in a circuit class they were doing but I squatted and did it incorrectly- now I know that it is a hip hinge that you need to do. Holly Rigsby did a great free video showing how to swing properly doing a hip hinge.

Hi,
I have a question about the kettlebell workouts you videoed this past week. The way I was taught to do the swing was implementing more of a squat during the swing. Am I doing myself any harm by performing them this way? I make sure my knees don’t go past my toes, etc. And I definitely feel it the next day!!!
Thanks, in advance.
Take care,
Kathy

Great to see the kettlebell as force projection and not elevation.
Here is a female perspective if that helps at all!
