WHAT

Hanging Twist is a very functional exercise whose foundation lies in rotation.
Performing it in an alternated way activates all trunk muscles on a horizontal plan
By twisting the torso we can increase trunk strength, mobilization and stabilization

HOW

Hang the bar fixed on the strips with your arm extended above the head
If you need, you can bend your knees a little to have your arm and trunk well extended
Stand in front the bar, with your feet on the floor, twist your hip to the side
Your knees should be pointing to the side while your chest is facing forward
After hanging in the bar and stabilizing your trunk, push your knees up and twist the hips at the same time, while suspended for a moment
Land on your feet, stretch the trunk a little and twist again to the initial Position

WHY

Warm-up is a very important stage of an exercise program. It increases body temperature, prepares muscles, ligaments and tendons to exercise
Rotational movement allows the body to accelerate and decelerate forces and make some upper body and lower body movement transfers
Most of human muscles are oblique, which means that they are prepared to twist; warm up the torso will prepare the vertebral column to this effort.
