TECHNIQUE: Start with a neutral spine, hips and feet. Generate momentum as you brace your core, swing your hips and follow through with your arms. As the sandbell comes back down, brace your abs again and transition with the same side hip to drive the bell up on the other side. ADVANTAGES: The Sandbell U Swing is a great movement for building unilateral core and hip recruitment. The exercise is similar to the Clubbell Cross-body swing. FAULTS: Common faults include not pivoting at the hips, spinal flexion and no pivot of the feet during hip shift. SCALING: Movement can be progressed to a partner variation where the object is to maintain the consistency of the swing between more than one person. www.sandandsteelfitness.com/exercise-database www.sandandsteelfitness.com/online-workouts
