Abdominal Strengthening exercise

This is an excerpt from FallProof! 3rd Edition With HKPropel Access by Debra Rose.

Seated Trunk Rotation

  • Seated trunk rotations target the muscles in the abdomen, back, and shoulders.
  • Sit tall in the middle of a chair, with the feet flat on the floor and hip-width apart.
  • Hold a small hand weight or a weighted ball in both hands.
  • Lean back slightly, opening the angle at the hip while maintaining a straight back.
  • Exhale and slowly rotate the upper body, hands, and head to one side (figure 8.21). Hold the position briefly before returning to an upright seated position.
  • Repeat the exercise to one side multiple times before switching to the other side.
