Wood choppers are a dynamic movement that focuses on the obliques and shoulders. This exercise helps improve rotational strength while building stability in the core and upper body.
Exercise Breakdown
- Start with your knees wide for a stable base. Hold the short loop in one hand.
- Exhale as you pull the loop diagonally across your body, starting from your knee and moving overhead.
- Inhale as you slowly return to the starting position, controlling the movement.
- Keep your hips steady while your upper body rotates.
Muscles Worked
- Obliques
- Shoulders
- Core
Pro Tip
For a more intense workout, add a high kneel position or include a shoulder press at the top of the movement. This increases the challenge for both the core and shoulders.
