![]() ![]() Join Bicycling All Access today to become a stronger, faster cyclist! Reverse the movement back to starting position, then repeat rotating to the left. As you sit up, rotate torso to the right so that the dumbbell comes across your body and lands near right hip. Perform a sit-up by engaging abs and slowly lifting your shoulder blades off the floor as you raise your torso, keeping neck long. Lie faceup, feet planted on the floor with your knees bent, arms extended up straight up over your chest pointed toward sky, holding a dumbbell with both hands. You will need an exercise ball, a slam ball, a set of dumbbells, and a resistance band with an anchor point. Each exercise is demonstrated by Anthony Fernandez, C.P.T., so you can learn proper form. As you become more advanced, challenge yourself to perform each move for 10 additional seconds, building up to 60 seconds. ![]() As you get stronger, build up to 30 seconds per exercise. For beginners, perform each exercise for 20 seconds. How to do it: Perform the circuit below for a total of 3 rounds. That’s why Dane Miklaus, C.S.C.S., founder of WORK Training Studio, created a workout that showcases variations of woodchop exercises, a staple anti-rotational core movement. “In addition to better performance, more core strength helps prevent injuries to the back and hips.” “The core muscles enhance bike control and stability which allow cyclists to ride efficiently and faster,” says Madison Russell, NASM-certified trainer at WORK Training Studio. Join Bicycling All Access today for more killer workouts! □ Not only that, but a strong core also helps aid your other muscles, like the power-producing quads in your legs, to pedal fast and powerfully during your rides. That’s because these exercises are essential for maintaining stability on the bike and healthy mobility of your spine and core. And while these exercises have a place in your routine, your core workout wouldn’t be complete without adding rotational exercises to it as well. See Spot Reduction Myth.When you think about core workouts, exercises such as sit-ups, planks, and leg lifts probably come to mind. Seated oblique exercises or those exercises where hips are stabilized allow for greater range of movement through spine. Continued rotation would occur through spine except when cable would make contact with body precluding further movement and resistance would no longer be provided through cable since line of force is no longer perpendicular line of pull. Because rear leg is only supported by forefoot, hip of forward leg is utilized much greater than hip of rear leg since forward leg offers more secured base of support. Although it is considered oblique movement, remarkably little rotation actually occurs through spine, although rotators of spine act largely as stabilizers except at very beginning and end of motion where resistance from cable is minimal.Ī large part of rotational force actually occurs through rotation/transverse adduction of forward hip. This movement arguably involves more hip internal rotation and transverse adduction than spinal rotation. Commentsīoth arms should be straight following diagonal path downward. Gradually bend knees as stirrup makes its way around body and approaches bottom. Keeping arms straight, pull stirrup diagonally downward around shoulders by rotating torso and gradually lowering arms downward until cable is just above shoulder. Place far hand over other hand or interlace fingers. ![]() Position feet wide apart with furthest foot away from pulley and nearest foot close to pulley. Turn to one side, away from pulley until near arm is extended straight. ![]() Grasp stirrup from shoulder height cable pulley.
