How do you perform a Russian Swing?
- Start by standing with your legs slightly apart and your knees slightly bent.
- Grab the kettlebell or other weight with both hands and let it dangle in front of your legs.
- Make a fluid movement by lifting the weight by pushing your buttocks forward and extending your legs.
- When the kettlebell reaches shoulder height, bend your knees to push your buttocks back and lower the kettlebell back in front of your legs.
Common faults

- Excessive stretching of the back.
- Lowering the kettlebell too low causing the back to bend forward too much.
