Aside from deadlifts, there aren’t many exercises that offer equal satisfaction to kettlebell swings
Kettlebell swings hit the posterior chain - the muscles on the rear of the body - but more specifically, the glutes, the upper and lower back, and hamstrings.
A great benefit of kettlebell swings is that they carry over to lower-body compound movements such as the front squat, barbell row, and Romanian deadlift.
