Exercise Type:
Core Rotate
Contraindications:
None
Equipment:
Floor Based
Applicability:
Focus
Superset?:
No
Sprint-able?:
No

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Speed of rotation should be deliberate; power can be added once mechanics are clean.
  2. 2. Feel the obliques and hip complex work together — this is a full-chain movement.
  3. 3. Imagine the spine as a fixed axis — rotation happens around it, not along it.

Regression:

Practise the rotation pattern without load using a dowel to monitor spine position.

Progression:

Combine with a lower-body load to create a full-chain rotational pattern.

Common Problems:

Collapsing the torso toward the load — reinforce upright posture before the rotation begins.
