How to Do a Dumbbell Swing?
Just like the kettlebell swing, the dumbbell swing is an explosive full-body movement. It builds strength and burns calories efficiently. Here’s how to do it step by step:
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold the dumbbell with both hands firmly.
- Slightly bend your knees, push your hips back, and keep your back straight.
- Let the dumbbell swing back between your legs with a slight hip hinge.
- Drive your hips forward powerfully, swinging the dumbbell up to chest height.
- As it reaches chest height, push your hips back again and repeat the motion.
What Muscles Does It Work?
- Gluteus Maximus (Glutes): Engaged during hip thrust.
- Core: Stabilizes your spine and posture.
- Deltoids (Shoulders): Works to lift and control the dumbbell.
Incorporate dumbbell swings into your training to strengthen your glutes, boost your core, and improve conditioning fast!
