Explanation
Answer - B - When performing a kettlebell swing, the knees should be lined up with the second and third toes. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart and pointing straight ahead. Shoulders should be depressed and retracted. The head should be in a position with the chin tucked in and the cervical spine should be in a neutral position. It is vital to pay attention to technique when using kettlebells, otherwise injury may occur.
