CORE EXERCISES

Our Core Training Program focuses primarily on Anti-rotation exercises strengthening core muscles to resist external forces that could cause rotation or twisting of the body. This helps improve stability, coordination, and injury prevention in various activities, especially those involving rotational movements. We want to begin by strengthening Core Muscles. Anti-rotation exercises target the lumbopelvic complex, including the deep core muscles like the transverse abdominis, obliques. These muscles play a crucial role in maintaining spinal stability and preventing unwanted rotation. We also want to enhance Stability and Coordination. By resisting rotational forces, anti-rotation exercises improve the body’s ability to stabilize the core and maintain proper alignment during movement. This enhanced stability and coordination are essential for functional movements and athletic performance. Preventing Injuries is also another focus. Strengthening the core through anti-rotation exercises can help reduce the risk of injuries, particularly in sports and activities involving rotational forces. By strengthening the muscles that resist rotation, the body is better prepared to handle unexpected forces and maintain stability during movement. Our goal is to ultimately improve athletic performance. Anti-rotation exercises can also improve performance in sports and activities that require rotational movements. By enhancing core stability and coordination, individuals can generate more power and control.

LANDIMINE ANTI-ROTATION CORE EXERCISES

Landmine Anti-Rotation Core Exercises develop strength and stability to maintain trunk position in the presence of rotational forces. It’s a good addition to the more common exercises that address anti-flexion, anti-rotation, and anti-lateral flexion to establish more complete trunk stability and control.

Landmine Anti-Rotations: Tall Kneeling

An Athlete can either utilize and landmine attachment or place the end of the bar in a stable corner

• The movement begins from a Tall Kneeling position facing the bar. Knees shoulder width apart
• Grab the end of the bar with both hands at chest height.
• Press overhead to full arm extension
• Maintain a straight top arm, slightly bending the underside arm, as you rotate the bar to either side.
• Focus on stabilizing the pelvis and lower trunk, not twisting, to remain facing forward while you rotate.
