The Amazing Stickie and Alternating Kettlebell Swings






The Amazing Stickie loves kettlebells for many reasons, but one is that they challenge her abdominals.  Regular kettlebell swings are great, but when Stickie wants some extra work for her obliques, she chooses alternating arm kettlebell swings.

She begins with one hand on her hip and the other hand holding the kettlebell.  She swings the kettlebell back between her legs and then snaps her hips forward, straightening her knees and bringing her arm to shoulder level.  She transfers the kettlebell from one hand to the other at the top of the swing, placing the free hand on her other hip.

 

A set of thirty swings (in other words, fifteen for each arm) is a good place to start.
