LOW TO HIGH WOOD CHOP

This is a strengthening exercise for the spinal rotators. Anchor a strength band to a stable object at roughly knee height while you are standing and use both hands to grip onto it. Start with your hands at hip height and trunk rotated towards the band. Keep your elbows straight and raise both hands towards the opposite shoulder while rotating through the trunk. Keep the hips facing forward to isolate the movement to your core muscles.
