Using a 20 kilo weight bar to strengthen the core muscles

Using a 20 kilo weight bar to strengthen the core muscles

We talked about the importance of strengthening the core for general health, but also for improving our striking power , evading possibilities and throwing techniques…

Drill:

Take a bar that’s about 25 percent of our body weight.

Start moving the bar around our head, moving it in different directions and different distances from our body.

Tips:

• Knees bent

• Different directions and distances different muscles that work...

• Start with steady movements instead of jerks

• Hold tight the stomach and back muscles…

• Breath normally

• As we feel more comfortable – we can increase the speed of the weight movement.

• Steady, slow movements and jerks both train different muscles – mix the use of them

• Slowly put in more hip turning and motion.

Stretching is very important after this exercise.
