Banded Core Twist

Exercise Description:

To perform this exercise, start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and a resistance band wrapped around a pole or stationary object that will not move when a force is exerted on it. Hold the resistance band in each hand and engage your core muscles to maintain a stable, upright position. From this starting position, twist your upper body to one side, moving your hands / resistance band with a 1:1 ratio. The degree you twist, the band should move, hands should not move from side to side, but stay directly in front of you. Hold this position for a moment before slowly returning to the starting position. Repeat the movement on the opposite side to complete one repetition.

This exercise can be made more challenging by increasing the resistance of the band. In addition to strengthening your core muscles, the core twist using a resistance band can also help to improve your balance, coordination, and overall athletic performance. 

It can also help to improve your posture and prevent back pain. Because it involves twisting and rotating your upper body, it can also help to increase flexibility in your spine and hips. Overall, the core twist using a resistance band is a versatile and effective exercise for improving core strength and overall fitness.
