Cool.
So what we're going to do now is we're going to do some Russian kettlebell swings.
We'll go through a few reps of what these look like, and then we'll break down the technique and some
common faults.
Take it away, Ellie.
Excellent.
Keep going there.
So what we've got here is Ellie literally pushing the kettlebell off her hips up.
So it's a really a glute, hammy, intense movement.
We don't want the focus to be on shoulders.
Just think of that as like almost a bit of a hinge point for where the shoulder moves.
Cool.
We'll go through some of the common faults now.
And one of the most common faults is where the arms start to swing early.
So just go through some bad examples now.
Excellent.
So this is very common for what we see when people are doing kettlebell swings the first time they're
used to mimicking them and just sort of seeing how this motion goes.
So what we want to do to correct that is get them to sort of really try and pin this elbow back into
their hips and then go back with the kettlebell.
Brilliant.
And then we've got a nice motion going there.
And then the focus is back on the bigger muscles, the glutes and the hammers to get this kettlebell
up in the air.
