I. Torso Rotation: What is it?
The torso rotation is a general stretch type of exercise that aims to tighten one’s abdominal area. As a stretching exercise, it helps one to improve flexibility, that is, it increases joint range movement to help support muscles in bones. In addition, this physical activity targets abdominal muscle as it works it out using an exercise ball. With the contraction made in the abdominals help build more muscle mass and improve endurance.
II. How to do it
Below are the simple steps that need to be followed in doing the torso rotation:
Step 1: As a starting position, stand straight while holding the exercise ball with both hands. Extend both arms so as to put the ball in front.
Step 2: Begin by rotating the torso on one side. Keep both eyes on the ball while doing this.
Step 3: Rotate back to the starting position and do the same routine by going to the opposite side.
Step 4: Repeat the routine for about 10-20 repetitions.
III. Things to remember
