I’ve known Kelly a long time. Her genuine energy is something most people wish to have. Her beauty truly comes from within, and her clear internal compass and well-balanced lifestyle is what makes her an arbiter for what’s hot.
There’s no secret to Kelly’s body. She’s always been on the path to pursue constant well-being: 25 percent exercise, 25 percent eating well, and 100 percent loving life. Kelly always made it her life choice to be healthy, regardless of any circumstances. She can’t transform anyone into a rock star, but she can show you how to rock—what you do with it is your choice. That’s Kelly Bensimon. Her journey is just starting. If the past is a prologue, we are in for a good ride.
Discovery: Aerin Lauder introduced me to
an amazing trainer who was obsessed with
workouts using a fitness ball. He taught me a
great abdominal workout, and that was the
beginning of when I had a more defined
stomach, after having two kids.
Why I Love It: This is the perfect example of being playful instead of working out. Here I just started doing “around the worlds” with a ball, and I could feel it everywhere. In fact, this photo shoot inspired me to create a new workout using the ball in different ways.
Health Benefits: I have found that doing sit-ups on the ball as opposed to a flat surface supports your lower back and focuses on abs, and you get your back and front muscles working together.
Hamptons Workout: I love working out with the ball in the backyard with my kids. I try to do exercises with my kids that are fun and we can do for a while, then walk away; I don’t want them to feel like fitness is a chore that must be done for a set amount of time.
