Banded Torso Rotation

Exercise Instructions

  • Loop a band around a sturdy pole or piece of gym equipment that is about chest height.
  • Grab the band with both hands and take a few lateral steps away from where the band is attached.
  • Extend your arms straight out in front of you, with your feet about shoulder-width apart, and toes straight forward.
  • Keeping your legs and core tight, rotate your torso in the opposite direction. Keep your arms fully extended and toes pointing straight forward.
  • Then slowly return to the starting position with control while keeping your abs tight. Don’t let the band pull you back. Stay in control.
  • Once you complete your set, turn around and face the other way to work the other side of your obliques.
