Off-season training for football: Kettlebell swings. So we're working in the superset here following up the bench press with the bands, now we're going to work with kettlebells which technically is a power exercise as well. So [PH] Jones is going to demonstrate what to do with the kettlebell here. So we grab it with both hands and he's going to stand with a nice strong-solid base to support here with his legs. And then as he works, he's going to pop his hips forward using his glutes and pushing his heels into the ground to cause momentum for the kettlebell to swing away and up above his body. So it's coming from his legs. As he sits he's going to pop-up and the kettlebell then comes up. So it's a not an arm exercise, it's a lower body exercise coming down popping up. And once you finish your 10 or 12, then we're going to move on to hanging knee raises. So that's it for the kettlebells.
