Move of the week: strengthen your core (and arms) with half-kneeling wood chops
3 years ago
Welcome to our weekly Move of the Week series. Every Monday, we’ll be sharing with you one of our favourite exercises – how to do them, what muscles they work and why they should be a regular part of your workout regime. This week: half kneeling wood chop.
Your core is made up of the muscles in your pelvis, lower back, hips and abdomen that all work in harmony. However, sitting down for hours a day can lead to weak core muscles that can negatively affect our posture and well-being.
That’s why core exercises are so important for better balance, strength and stability but core workouts are so much more than just sit ups and crunches. Half kneeling wood chop is the perfect functional core exercise for everyday strength.
A weekly dose of expert-backed tips on everything from gut health to running.
