One of my all time favorite core exercises. Great for low back health. One of the most important functions of our core is to prevent motion of the spine. Here we see Angelo engaging his core against the resistance of a counter rotational force. If you want serious core stability, start with the the Anti-Rotation Hold.

What it works: Abdominals and obliques.

Trainers tips: Brace your abdominals like you’re about to take a punch to the stomach. Make sure your hands are in direct line with the middle of your chest, and there should be a 90 degree angle between the rope/cable and your forearms to allow for maximum torque. Start out by trying to hold for 30 seconds. Once you’re strong enough increase the time. Don’t forget to train both sides of the body.
