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.
