Core Challenge: Day 6

Targeting Internal & External Obliques with Twists

Adding Rotation the Smart Way

Today we introduce twisting — but with focus and control, not just throwing your shoulders around.

Why This Matters

📌 Target your internal and external obliques with controlled twisting drills.

📌 Builds rotational strength for everyday activities (and sports)

📌 Connects your breath and exhale powerfully into movement

Inside Today’s Video 🎥

You’ll practice:

✅ Controlled twisting drills from seated and kneeling

✅ Progressions into lunges with rotation

✅ Coordinating opposite-side core activation for maximum effect

Key Takeaway

Twists are powerful when done right — they wake up your obliques and add resilience to your whole system. They can also ‘make or break’ in helping to ‘fix’ a diastasis recti.

👉 Tomorrow we finish strong with planks!
