The kettlebell windmill is a wonderful exercise for the core musculature. Think of it as a twisty good morning. Not only is it a great stretch for the posterior chain (erector spinae, glutes, and hamstrings), it is also a strength builder for the transverse abdominis and internal oblique. When starting, choose a lighter weight and move up only when you’ve developed enough flexibility to get the raised arm perpendicular to the floor.
