Abs Exercise #27: Trunk Rotation

This exercise is the trunk rotation with body bar. It works the abs and the obliques and also increases torso mobility. You will need a body bar, weight bar or you could even make do with an old broom handle.

Here is the proper way to perform the trunk rotation:

1. Begin by standing with both feet apart and firmly planted into the ground.
2. Rest the bar on the back of your shoulders and grip it as in the video below.
3. While contracting your stomach muscles, rotate your shoulders as far as you can control with no movement at your belly button.
4. Return to the starting position and rotate to the other side.
5. Do 3 sets of 20 reps.

Things to remember when doing the trunk rotation:

• Keep your chest tall as your move through the exercise.
• Remember to keep your feet planted into the ground and keep your abs contracted.
