Low to High Woodchop

  • Squat and twist left to hold the dumbbell on the outside of your left leg.
  • Exhale and lift the weight diagonally across your body, ending twisted to the right with the dumbbell above your head. Pivot on your left foot as needed.
  • The move is a bit percussive, so focus on the rotation initiating in your torso.
  • Control the weight back up to the starting position to complete one rep.
  • Remember you are moving with force but also control. Don't give into the momentum of swinging the weight around.
  • Continue "chopping" on one side for 30 seconds; then switch sides.

This is a full-body move that really targets the core and shoulders.
