What it is

This exercise strengthens your core by rotating your upper body. It primarily targets your abdominal muscles. You will use an exercise ball to add resistance. This movement helps improve rotational strength and stability.

Technique tips

  • Keep your arms extended as you rotate your torso.
  • Maintain a steady gaze on the exercise ball.
  • Move through your full, comfortable range of motion.
  • Breathe naturally throughout the movement.
  • Avoid swiveling your hips excessively.
  • Control the rotation, do not rush.

How to track your progress

Log the hold time of each set. Straddly keeps your best hold for this exercise and tells you when you beat it, so a two-second gain does not go unnoticed.
