The Windmill |
|
Start
Left
Right The "Windmill" is very similar to the traditional side bend but with a small change... instead of holding a side bend stretch you move back and forth reaching from left to right. Start standing with both arms overhead... slowly reach to the left with your right arm overhead as you reach down the outside of your left leg with your left hand... reach as far as you can with both hands and then slowly return and do the same to the right. You can increase the speed at which you perform this exercise and I recommend doing anywhere from 10 - 100 reps. The "Windmill" is a great exercise for increasing muscle tone in the "love handle" area and will also greatly increase the flexibility of your torso and spine.
