Swinging kettlebells around at the gym makes me feel like a super toughie. But I do love the sassy feeling I get doing slow and controlled windmills, a move I just learned my Equinox trainer Lauren. Like most kettlebell moves, this is a full-body exercise but the work is at your waist toning the obliques and stretching the sides of the torso. The shoulders and arms are worked nicely too. If you’re a beginner,

try this exercise with no weights. Once you feel familiar with the sequence, add one five-pound dumbbell into the mix. Holding the weight in the hand that remains held above the head. When you’re ready, progress to using a set of four kilogram (8.8 pounds) kettlebells. Start toning your love handles now; bikini season is right around the corner. View Slideshow ›
