How to do Dumbbell Swing Exercises

Video Transcript

Hi! My name is Corey Beasley, owner of DNA Fitness. I am going to run you through one of my favorite total body exercises. I just basically call it a dumbbell swing. It combines a squat, you know, while strengthening all the muscles of your posterior chain, your arms, your shoulders, all the muscles up and down your back, your hips, your hamstrings, your legs everything. So what you are going to do is you are going to have a dumbbell, you can also utilize a kettle bell or if you have access to a dumbbell or sandbag or anything like that. You can utilize this as well. Just dumbbells as you know are typically more common. So all you are going to do is you are going to have your dumbbell down between your legs, feet about shoulder width apart may be a little bit wider and you are going to keep your stomach tight and chest up. You are going to come down, grab that dumbbell, basically what you are doing, most importantly keeping your chest up and stomach tight. As you come up swinging that dumbbell, arms straight, coming back down. If you look at it from the side, chest up, stomach tight, swinging that dumbbell up, propping those hips forward, swinging that dumbbell right up over your head. Obviously changing hands as you go. So down, back up. Most importantly do not let your back come down, do not let it pull you forward again using a weight that you can control. So again propping your hips forward, utilizing the strength in your legs, strengthening all the muscles in your posterior chain. Making you a much better athlete, help you with just strengthening your body, head and toe getting you towards those goals quicker.
