Look after your curves this Christmas with this simple workout

Whatever the style of your fave LBD this party season, one thing’s for sure: curves are a girl’s best accessory. 

Which is why we’ve devised a workout to help accentuate your bum, chest and legs, as well as those all-important hips to get you looking sexy, toned and curvy all at once. Ready to flaunt that figure? You betcha!

HOW TO DO IT:

Beginner: 3 x 10 reps/20 seconds

Intermediate: 4 x 10 reps/30 seconds

Advanced: 5 x 10 reps/40 seconds

KIT YOU’LL NEED:

Kettlebell; 2 x dumbbells

KETTLEBELL SWING

Areas trained: Bottom, lower back, thighs

Technique:

— Hinge at your hips, drive your bottom out behind you and bend your knees to take hold of a kettlebell in front of you by the handles.

Drive the kettlebell backward through your legs, then extend your hips and knees to drive the kettlebell up to around shoulder-height.

As the kettlebell drops back down, hinge at your hips and knees again to repeat in a fluid motion.

SAFETY TIP: Keep a flat back as you lower

REVERSE LUNGE

Areas trained: legs, bottom

Technique: Holding a dumbbell in each hand by your sides, take a large step backward and bend both knees to about 90 degrees with the back knee just above the floor.

Push back up to the start and repeat on the opposite side. Alternate sides for each rep.

SAFETY TIP: Keep your upper body upright throughout

STAR-SIDE PLANK

Areas trained: sides, core, hips, thighs

Technique:

Move into a side plank, resting on one forearm, with your feet stacked on top of each. Raise your top leg as high as you can.

Hold this position. Repeat on the other side.

HOT TIP: A great move for the hips and outside of the thighs
