Kettlebell mistake of the week: hinging too early

This applies to: the swing.

The mistake: You break at the hips and reach for the bell before it has come back to you.

The fix: Stay in extension longer. Stand straight and wait until the weight is on its backswing and near the body before you hinge.

Kettlebell mistake of the week: pulling the bell with your arms

This applies to: the swing, clean and snatch.

The mistake: The arms try to lift the kettlebell instead of the hips driving it.

The fix: Let the hips and legs drive the weight. The arms should guide the kettlebell, not pull it.
