Lateral Step Kettlebell Swing

In the video I pretty well explain and demonstrate the lateral step kettlebell swing, but I want to also let you know of another variation that is very similar but was not recorded.  It is the forward step and/or backward step swing.  The concept is pretty much the same.  If going forward, get your swing going and then when the kettlebell is at face height and motionless step forward with one foot and quickly follow with the other foot, stabilize and complete the swing.  Keep following that up for a prescribed distance or number of steps.  When doing the backards step; literally just reverse the steps and go backwards.  If space is an issue, do alternating forward to backward steps.  For a great and challenging workout, add to that the lateral steps and get what I call the Kettlebell four Square Stepping Swing Set.  What a great workout.  You would be surprised to see how many athletes get their steps screwed up after doing that for a minute or two.  Give it a try and let me know how you do!

Keep Those Kettlebells Swinging,
