PROGRESSION · HOW TO DO IT
Light kettlebell hip airplane
These steps are written specifically for the Light kettlebell hip airplane. Follow them in order and stop before you lose the position.
- 01Set up your version
Set up specifically for the Light kettlebell hip airplane. Keep resistance intentionally low so position—not load—is the challenge.
- 02Move the pattern
Keep the standing foot rooted while you slowly rotate the pelvis open, then turn it back toward the floor.
- 03Match the demand
Treat this version as the only progression; do not add load, range, and tempo at the same time.
- 04Finish with control
Use only the range that keeps the knee and foot steady, then return to the centered hinge. Make the range smaller than the compensation.

Light kettlebell hip airplane is a progression of Hip Airplane. Use the written card above for its exact setup and execution.
Control range: Control work builds strength through rotation, balance, or a position you hold steady.
WHY IT EARNS A SPOT
Own the position,
then earn the load.
The stance hip must rotate internally and externally while the glute medius, deep rotators, and foot keep the pelvis organized over one leg.
