Instructions:

Step 1: Stand with your feet hip-width apart and hold a kettlebell with both your hands. Let it hang in between your legs.

Step 2: Bend your knees and push your hips back to swing the kettlebell towards the back from in between your legs.

Step 3: Pull your hips forward as you straighten your legs to swing the kettlebell in front of you to bring it to your shoulder level.

Step 4: Swing it back down to repeat the motion. Keep your back firm and straight throughout the exercise.

Do this exercise for 1 minute. The kettlebell swing can be done by working one hand at a time, as well. If you choose to do this variation of it, one hand will hold the kettlebell and do the swinging motion while the other will be extended sideways, at shoulder level, for balance.
