Kettlebell (Double) Swing
A step-by-step form guide from the Ægir Iron exercise library: how to do the lift, what to watch for, and the muscles it trains.

HOW TO PERFORM
- Stand with the feet wider than for one bell, a kettlebell in each hand.
- Hinge and hike both bells back between the legs, back flat.
- Snap the hips forward to float the bells to chest height.
- Let them swing back into the next hinge.
FORM TIPS
- Keep the bells close together and the knees pushed out so the bells pass between them without hitting.
