Pallof Press and Twist

BeginnerBodyweight

This variation adds a rotation to the anti-rotation Pallof press, so your core first resists the band's pull, then works to twist against it. The obliques take on extra load through the turn. It's excellent for building rotational control and trunk stability.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Anchor a loop band at about chest height and stand side-on, feet slightly wider than your hips.

  2. 2

    Grab the band with both hands and step away until you feel tension.

  3. 3

    Brace your core and press your arms straight out in front of your chest.

  4. 4

    With arms extended, slowly rotate your torso away from the anchor.

  5. 5

    Twist back under control, not letting the band drag you around.

  6. 6

    Bend your elbows to bring your hands back to your chest, then finish your reps and switch sides.
