The Kettlebell swing with dumbbell, as the name suggests, is a dumbbell variation of the basic version and is used by those who do not have a wide variety of kettlebells in their gym.

How to do a Kettlebell Swing with Dumbbell
It is performed in the same way as the kettlebell swing except that you hold a dumbbell with both hands and swing it by its end plate. Start swinging the dumbbell between your legs and when it is behind you, squeeze your glutes to push your hips forward and swing the db to your chest level.
