 I’ve been working with kettlebells for the past few weeks now and it has totally changed the way I train at the gym.  My workouts are far more intense and more importantly, I’ve incorporated functional movements which have really improved my core development.   The movement I’ve focused most of my kettlebell work on is the two arm kettlebell swing.  There are many other kettlebell movements, but this single movement has really taken my lifts to new heights.    I’ve been searching for a good instructional video demonstrating this basic movement, and Chronicles of Strength has put together a great video to share.  Enjoy.

This is the same movement but the start position is a little different.  I prefer this start position, but the first video explains the posture and movement a bit better.  Both videos are great though.
