Pallof Press With Rotation
A dynamic core strengthening exercise that involves pressing a resistance band or cable away from the body while performing a rotational movement.
Instructions
- Attach a resistance band to a sturdy anchor point at chest height.
- Stand sideways to the anchor with feet shoulder-width apart.
- Hold the band with both hands, keeping it close to your chest.
- Step away from the anchor to create tension in the band.
- Extend your arms straight out in front of you, pressing against the resistance.
- Rotate your torso away from the anchor point while maintaining arm extension.
- Return to the starting position slowly and under control.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching sides.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Allowing the arms to retract towards the body during the movement.
- Rotating the hips instead of solely the torso.
- Using too much resistance, leading to loss of form.
