Rotational Lift

The rotational lift builds strength in your core, particularly in your obliques. The exercise also strengthens and stabilizes the lower back.

Instructions

  1. 725_A
    Lie on your back with your knees bent to 90 degrees and feet flat on the floor. Place your hands behind your head for support.
  2. Rotational Lift
    Tighten your abs and bring your chest towards your knees by raising your shoulder blades and head off the floor without letting your lower back lose contact with the floor.
  3. 725_C
    Rotate to one side, and then return to the starting position to prepare to rotate to the other side.

Trainer’s Tips

  • Keep your feet flat on the ground throughout the exercise.
  • Avoid letting your lower back come off the ground.
  • Perform reps slowly to avoid using momentum.
