I love kettlebells! They are simply one of the most used pieces of equipment in my home gym. There are so many exercises that can be done with them. One of my favorites is a windmill. It is so great for those love handles!
To do a windmill:
Step 1: Stand up and position your kettlebell in front. Clean and press the kettlebell. You will want to rotate your wrist as you perform this movement so that your palm faces forward.
Step 2: While keeping your kettlebell in a locked position, push your butt out in the same direction as your arm holding the kettlebell. Turn your feet out at a 45 degree angle from the arm that is locked with the kettlebell. Bend your hip to one side and stick your butt out. Lean down and trace the inside of your leg all the way to your ankle. Keep your eye on the kettlebell at all times. This is not a fast movement.
Step 3: Pause for a second after you reach the ground and reverse the motion until you are back to your starting position.
Do a few sets of these and your sides will be loving you!
I will have to try this! I love kettlebells too!
