Strengthen your back & core with these moves

Whether you’re looking to get ripped or build your strength, none of us can deny the appeal of a rock-hard set of abs, right? Well, to get that desired six-pack, it’s about more than endless crunches; you need to build a strong core.

To maximize your ab potential, you need to train your core to get fired up in all directions – and this is where rotational exercises come into play.

Once you start training your body using rotational moves, you’ll improve your balance and spatial awareness, particularly important if you like contact sports. By including rotational exercises in your workout, you won’t only see the benefits in the mirror; you’ll even see the benefits in your daily life, from taking out the trash, picking up groceries and even reaching back for your seatbelt.

This is because we’re constantly rotating throughout the day, but if you’re not training your body for that, you risk injuries and losing strength and stability in your core.

What does a workout with rotational exercises look like?

Including a set of exercises like the routine below will have you building a solid core and back in no time and feeling more balanced and stable – which is essential when it comes to smashing it in the gym.

You might have heard of some, or even all, of these exercises, but to ensure that you’re performing them safely, we’ll go through them. So, read on to find out how to strengthen your back and core.

1. Hanging bent-knee wiper

• Bend your knees to 90 degrees and begin to raise them until they reach your waist height
• From here, rotate your hips and dip your knees from side-to-side, like your legs are a windshield wiper
• Each dip is one rep, do three sets of 20 reps (ten on each side).

• Continue to alternate sides for one minute.
