This single lift incorporates hundreds of your muscles and involves you swinging the bell like a pendulum from between your legs up to chest level.

To execute the swing you have got to initiate a technique known as the hip snap. The hip snap is performed by you constantly and fluently flexing and extending at both your hips and knees. This allows you to create a lot of momentum in order to swing the kettlebell back and forth. This one exercise is a pulling type movement that hits all the major muscle groups ranging from your hamstrings, glutes, hips, abs, back, shoulders, and arms! There is no muscle group left untouched by this dynamic exercise.

2. The Burpee: The burpee is a body weight exercise that involves a lot of movement and requires you to utilize and control every muscle in your body to pull it off. To execute a burpee stand with your feet about shoulder width distance apart in length. Next, crouch down and place your hands on the ground in front of you. From here kick your feet back behind you bringing you into an upright push up position.

Once here execute a normal push up and kick your feet back up underneath your body and stand up. All of these movements combined equate to a single repetition. There is a lot of movement here and this exercise is great for developing whole body strength in women.
