No disrespect, dumbbells—you're great and we heart you—but the kettlebell is kind of stealing our adoration. To be honest, this isn't a new crush: We've always been fond of the kettlebell's shape, which creates an uneven distribution of weight and makes basic dumbbell exercises more challenging. But now researchers say that kettlebell training can improve your balance and reaction time—and that seals the deal.
Get tight, toned and sexy in half the time with the Women's Health 15-Minute Belly, Butt & Thighs Workouts.
"When you're swinging, passing, or flipping the bell, your body intuitively counterbalances the weight," says Lorna Kleidman, the three-time kettlebell world champion who created this workout. "This teaches your muscles to respond faster in other situations, whether you're playing tennis or trying not to fall on a slippery surface." What's more, the moves in this routine also train multiple muscle groups at once and on every plane of motion, increasing your strength and overall calorie burn.
