The Hidden Science of Kettlebell Swings: Part 1

We’re kicking off March with something extra special—two deep-dive videos from our four-part series: The Hidden Science of Kettlebell Swings.

Part 1 explores how kettlebell swings go beyond strength and power, boosting cardiovascular endurance and meeting ACSM’s recommendations for endurance training.

Most trainers don’t realise the true power of kettlebell swings.

Yes, they build strength, explosiveness, and posterior chain power. But did you know they also boost cardiovascular endurance?

🚀 Studies show that four weeks of kettlebell training can improve cardio fitness by 6.4%. That means kettlebell swings meet ACSM’s recommendations for endurance training—all while developing powerlifting and Olympic lifting performance.

💡 What you’ll learn in this video:
✔️ The science behind kettlebell swings for endurance and power
✔️ How kettlebells improve cardiovascular fitness (backed by research)
✔️ Why heart rate vs. oxygen consumption makes kettlebell training so effective
✔️ How to program kettlebell swings for maximum results
