- Exercise Type:
- Core Rotate
- Contraindications:
- Lower Back Problems
- Equipment:
- Floor Based
- Applicability:
- Focus
- Superset?:
- Yes
- Sprint-able?:
- Yes
Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Keep the lower half stable while the upper body rotates — or vice versa depending on the drill.
- 2. Feel the obliques and hip complex work together — this is a full-chain movement.
- 3. Exhale into the rotation; inhale to return.
- 4. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
Regression:
Practise the rotation pattern without load using a dowel to monitor spine position.
Progression:
Progress to a split-stance or single-leg position to reduce base of support and increase stability demand.
Common Problems:
One arm going slack mid-rotation — keep both arms engaged on the implement throughout.
