Dumbbell swing: how to do it
1 of 4
Dumbbell between your legs
Starting position
Stand wider than hip-width, hold one dumbbell with both hands in front of you and bend your knees slightly.
The movement
Hinge at your hips and move the dumbbell between your legs, then snap your hips forward and swing it to chest height.
Most common mistake
Don't lift the dumbbell with your arms, create momentum by extending your hips and keep your back straight.
