kettlebell swings
Ballistic hip exercise
Kettlebell swings are an exercise in which you grip a kettlebell with both hands and swing it in an arc from between your legs to chest or overhead height, using hip thrust rather than arm strength.
The movement targets the posterior chain—glutes, hamstrings, and lower back—while building explosive power and cardiovascular endurance: I do a hundred kettlebell swings every morning.
