What makes this exercise so darn hard? 😅 2 of many things come to mind; the size of the Chair surface (small) & it’s height off the floor (relatively high when we’re not touching it!).
So besides strengthening the core, shoulder girdle & hip strength needed to do the Side Body Twist, we also want to strengthen their proprioception & movement confidence.
How? Here’s some programming ideas 🔽
Teach the exercise on the Mat to give them a better sense of the connections and engagement (great combo: Side Leg Lift Series into the Teaser & back down)
Add balance & proprioception exercises into their workouts to get them confident & familiar with instability.
💡Ideas? Standing BOSU sequences, seated Stability Ball sequences, Stability Discs Standing & Seated exercises.
By breaking down exercises into more achievable segments, we’re giving our clients the tools to progress with confidence & strength 💪
