Doall reps for one side and then switch arms. The next exercise is Kettlebell Swings. This exercise is a very important exercise for your abs in that they work your abs the way they were meant to be worked by stabilizing them. So, with your arms outstretched below, grab the KB with both hands, and using your only your hips and your legs drive the KB forward. Your arms will just be along for the ride in this exercise.

@noahdaboah1 depends on what ur definition of fit is… I know for a fact that they know what they are talking about. And being at 4% bodyfat isnt fit just as it isnt fit to be 6ft and 220lbs, whether its fat of muscle..

Relax your shoulders and let them hang while holding the bell. The only things you should be using to create motion is your legs, hips, and abs – NEVER shoulders.

If you do the swing properly, you won’t have to worry. You never use your shoulders in the swing. All power is generated from the snap of your hips and that is what raises the bell to chest level. NEVER use your shoulders; they are to hang loosely and only move upward because of the force generated by your hips. If you were to lift the bell with your shoulders during the swing, we would be talking major shoulder and back problems.

@danielclynn Anyone teaching in RL will tell you to start with very lite weight on any kettlebell exercises. An they work well cause they are about correct body mechanics and won’t put not needed pressure on your shoulders.

Hey danielclynn if you have an impingement that keeps you from raising your arms in front of you then you should rehab it first…if not then KB swings are completely fine. Feel free to msg me any questions you might have on my page.
cheers,

Awesome, although kettlebell swings make me a little nervous about my shoulders.
