The kettlebell swing is an efficient full-body workout designed to strengthen most of your muscles including your posterior chain (the muscles along the back of your body). The exercise can also ramp up your heart rate and is a staple move in strength and conditioning programs.
Swings target your legs, arms, and core muscles while giving your lower back, glutes, and hamstrings attention using a hip hinge movement similar to a deadlift. And if you're pulling together a quick home workout or don't have much time, this move can build muscle and strength all over.
