- Exercise Type:
- Core Rotate
- Contraindications:
- None
- Equipment:
- Floor Based, Dumbbell
- Applicability:
- Group&Focus
- Superset?:
- Yes
- Sprint-able?:
- No
Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Imagine the spine as a fixed axis — rotation happens around it, not along it.
- 2. Keep the lower half stable while the upper body rotates — or vice versa depending on the drill.
- 3. Control the return — the eccentric is where the core works hardest.
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.
