Trunk Rotations

Instructions

1. 1.Start in plank position.
2. 2.Lift your right knee up into your torso and twist to the left.
3. 3.Return your right foot back to its plank position.
4. 4.Repeat on the other side.
5. 5.Alternate sides for the requires reps.

Tips

• Press your hands into the floor to help keep your shoulders level and neck in a neutral position.
• Avoid dropping down as you twist, keep your hips high and keep active through the core.
• Focus on engaging your core. Trying to get a huge twist without proper alignment and core stability can put undue strain on your lower back.
• If it feels too easy, slow down and focus on control through the movement. You’ll find you’ll get better activation. Alternatively, speed everything up and try to get a sweat going!

Breathing Instructions

1. Inhale as you start and as you return your foot to the ground after each twist. 2. Exhale as you lift your leg into the twist. 3. Or find a rhythm that works for you. 4. Don’t hold your breath.
