What It Is
A seated twisting move for the side muscles of your midsection. It helps with turning, reaching and swinging a bat or club.
How to Do It
Sit on the floor with knees bent and heels down, holding a weight at your chest. Lean back slightly with a flat back. Turn your shoulders to bring the weight beside one hip, then back to center. Switch sides each rep.
Skill Level
Intermediate. Free-weight lifts, single-leg balance under load, or near-bodyweight strength moves. Form matters.
Type
Strength. Builds muscle and strength with controlled, resisted movement.
Engagement
Unilateral (Alternating). Each rep alternates between sides.
