Core Rotate, Total Hang
Contraindications:
None
Equipment:
Floor Based

Group&Focus
Superset?:
Yes
Sprint-able?:
No

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Speed of rotation should be deliberate; power can be added once mechanics are clean.
  2. 2. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
  3. 3. Imagine the spine as a fixed axis — rotation happens around it, not along it.
  4. 4. Exhale into the rotation; inhale to return.

Regression:

Use a half-kneeling position to isolate rotational demand with reduced lower-body input.

Progression:

Progress to a split-stance or single-leg position to reduce base of support and increase stability demand.

Common Problems:

Rushing the return — the eccentric is as important as the concentric; control it.
