- ROTATION
Along with providing stability and strength so power can be transferred efficiently, your core muscles control rotation of your trunk.
In rotation exercises, you are using the muscles of your torso to twist, or rotate using the oblique muscles (on the sides of your abdomen) as well as your low back.
- ANTI-ROTATION
The opposite of rotation exercises, anti-rotation exercises are where your core muscles are resisting rotation. In many daily movements, you want to remain stable while forces try to get your trunk to rotate.
There are plenty of rotational and anti-rotational exercises that can help you build core stability. However, we are a little leery of giving examples of these exercises here given that rotational movements, especially if done incorrectly, can lead to injury.
We’d recommend consulting with your coach or trainer about your specific needs and which rotational and anti-rotational movements are right for you.
