Kettlebell swing

It involves moving the bell in a pendulum motion from between the knees to anywhere between eye level to fully overhead[1][2] and can be performed either two-handed or using one hand.

This requires an intense contraction of the gluteal, abdominal and latissimus muscles.

The one-arm swing presents a significant anti-twisting challenge, and can be used with an alternating catch switching between arms.

[citation needed] There is controversy within the kettlebell world about whether a swing can only be performed with a hip hinge, and not with a squat.

Within the kettlebell sport world, employing knee flexion during the swing is more common.
