Torso Rotation

A core exercise to improve rotational strength and stability using controlled torso movements.

Instructions

• Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent.
• Hold a dumbbell or medicine ball with both hands in front of you.
• Engage your core and slightly bend your elbows.
• Rotate your torso to the right as far as comfortably possible, then to the left.
• Keep your hips facing forward and pivot on your back foot for more range.
• Perform the movement in a slow and controlled manner.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using too much weight, compromising form.
• Twisting the hips instead of the torso.
• Moving too quickly, reducing effectiveness.
• Not engaging the core muscles fully.
