Exercise of the Week: Band Resisted Kettlebell Swing

The kettlebell swing is an explosive exercise in itself....at least when it's done right.  So there may be no need to make it even more explosive.  But may be you do want to make it more explosive?  Or may be you do not have access to a heavier kettlebell.  Here's where the band resisted kettlebell swing comes into play.  By simply employing a Super Band or some other type of resistance band you have made the swing a bit more explosive and a bit harder since you now have to overcome the additional resistance from the band.  Take a look at the setup and execution of this swing version in the video below.



One thing before you go trying this exercise out.  You have no business doing a band resisted swing if you can not do a proper kettlebell swing.  Really take the time to learn the swing because I'm not seeing a whole of good swinging going on out there these days.
