How to do it
Drive the rotation from your hips rather than your shoulders.
- 1
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a weighted bag in front of you.
- 2
Swing the bag to one side while pivoting on your feet and rotating your torso.
- 3
Swing the bag to the opposite side in a controlled motion, again pivoting and rotating.
- 4
Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions.
Expert tip
Engage your core throughout the exercise to stabilize your torso and protect your lower back.
Common mistakes
- ✕Rotating the spine without pivoting the feet
