SPLIT SQUAT LOW HIGH CHOP

This is a strengthening exercise for the spinal rotators. Anchor a strength band down with a stable object while you are kneeling in a split squat. Use both hands to grip onto the band and start with your hands near the hips closest to the band. Keep your elbows straight and raise both hands up overhead towards the opposite shoulder. Keep the hips facing forward to isolate the movement to your core muscles.

    • Internal Oblique

    • External Oblique

Related Conditions:
