Banded plank rotations

About

Banded plank rotations are a dynamic core exercise that combines the stability of a plank with the rotational movement of twisting. This exercise is effective for engaging the obliques, which are crucial for rotational strength and core stability. By using a resistance band, it adds an extra challenge to the traditional plank, requiring more engagement from the core muscles to maintain balance and control throughout the movement. Performing banded plank rotations involves starting in a plank position and then twisting the torso against resistance, which helps strengthen the obliques and other stabilizing muscles. This exercise enhances core stability, improves balance, and mimics functional movements, making it beneficial for both athletes and everyday fitness enthusiasts. It supports better posture and reduces the risk of injury by fortifying the muscles around the spine.
