Plate Twist

Strengthen your core with rotational twists using a weight plate.

The Plate Twist is an effective way to challenge your core and build rotational strength. It’s especially useful for athletes and anyone working on balance and spinal mobility. With just a single plate, you can fire up your abs and obliques in seconds. FitnessTracker recommends this movement as part of any core circuit or home workout routine.

Instructions

  1. Sit on the floor with knees slightly bent and feet lifted off the ground.
  2. Hold a weight plate in front of your chest with both hands.
  3. Lean back slightly and engage your core to stay balanced.
  4. Rotate your torso to touch the plate to the floor beside your hip.
  5. Return to center, then twist to the other side.
  6. Continue alternating sides with slow, controlled motion.
