Torso Rotation

A standing core rotation exercise using an exercise ball that builds oblique strength and rotational power.

Instructions

1. Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Hold an exercise ball with both hands at chest level.
3. Extend your arms so the ball is directly out in front of you.
4. Rotate your torso to one side, keeping your hips relatively stable.
5. Move your gaze to follow the ball as you rotate.
6. Return to the center position.
7. Rotate to the opposite side in a controlled manner.
8. Repeat for the desired number of reps on each side.

Tips

• Move slowly and deliberately to maximize core engagement.
• Keep your feet planted firmly on the ground.
• Maintain an upright posture throughout the movement.
• Increase difficulty by using a heavier ball or medicine ball.
• This exercise effectively targets the obliques and rotational core strength.
