Torso rotation standing/sitting

Not a very effective exercise. It is more suitable as a warm-up. Doing it with light weight is practically useless, and with heavy weight - dangerous. As an alternative, you can try twisting at an incline.

Nuances and mistakes

1. It is the oblique muscles that create the corset, which keeps the waist in good tone.

2. Place your hands on the edges of the stick and look straight ahead during the movement. The range of motion should be maximum. Keep your back straight. The spine should be vertical.

3. The most common mistakes are leaning the torso forward or rotating together with the head. With such execution, dizziness may occur.

4. The rotation should be performed for 2-3 minutes. At least 100 repetitions on each side.

5. Do not perform rotations with a barbell. You can injure your back. Take a lightweight gym stick.

6. This exercise can also be performed using the upper block. The advantage is that you can use weights in this case.
