IWS Ab, Core, Oblique – FESCH.TV

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

IWS loaded ABS-Core- Oblique METHOD (One tube recommended) (With attached hand grip)

Position:
Stand facing perpendicular to the band anchor point. For clarity, if the anchor point is North, face east or west with one hand grip in your hands. Hold the hand grip with both hands clasped over one another and held at the middle of your chest. (sternum) elbows 6-8 inches away from your sides. Stand at a distance from the anchor point that begins with minimal resistance at the start of the exercise.

Movement:
Begin by maintaining the arms extended out 12 inches away from center sternum in a fixed position. Maintaining center of gravity, and athletic strong posture…hold the resistance for a count of 5 seconds. At the count of five “switch the picture” as you athletically, gracefully, turn a full ½ turn to engage the other side. Picture this…as you turn, its fast, the hands NEVER MOVE…It is like you just changed the lower body positioning.

Difficulty will also increase as you begin to extend your arms outward, further away from the torso. Engage (stay tight) in your abs and obliques throughout the exercise. Think of midway away from your body is 5, fully extended (ever so slight bend in elbow) is a 10. What can you do?

Purpose:
This exercise challenges the muscles of the arms, chest, shoulders and back to stabilize while the prime movers of the torso absorb “static energy resistance” Thus effectively stabilizing the spine throughout this “static energy resistance”. By strengthening the torso musculature in this fashion, you enable the body to become more resilient and pliable during functional and athletic rotational movements. (Anti-rotation) These might include a tennis forehand, backhand, or golf swing, reaching across the body to grab an object off a high shelf or on the floor. This also helps you generate more rotational powerful and efficient rotation as you develop more stability, leg power and skill in these activities.
