American Kettlebell Swing

A powerful, high-intensity exercise where the kettlebell is swung overhead in one fluid motion. Unlike the Russian swing, which stops at shoulder level, the American version extends the range of motion, placing greater demand on the shoulders and upper back while still engaging the posterior chain—glutes, hamstrings, and lower back. This movement is perfect for building explosive hip power, improving cardiovascular endurance, and enhancing shoulder mobility and control.
