Instructions:
- 1Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, with your knees slightly bent
- 2Engage your core and swing your arms up and to the right, as if you were chopping wood
- 3Swiftly bring your arms back down and to the left, in a controlled chopping motion
- 4Repeat the motions, alternating sides for each rep
- 5Ensure to keep your core engaged throughout
Tips:
- Aim for a fluid chop motion, rather than disjoint chops
- Breathe in as you lift your arms up and breathe out as you bring them down
- Make sure to pivot your feet as you swing - this helps protect your knees and lower back
- Focus on using your abs to control the movement, not your arms
