Focus on proper neck and back posture to gain the most core development benefits out of this exercise. Do not let the lack of weight load trick you into thinking this is an easy exercise when done correctly.

A repetition bracket listing (7-9) reps from a personalized training and nutrition program means 7-9 reps for each side for this particular exercise. Getting 7 or 8 reps with proper form means to keep the weight load the same for the next set. Executing 9 perfect reps means that the next work set should have an increase in weight load such as going from a 6 pound medicine ball to an 8 pound medicine ball.

Medicine ball core training benefits

Advanced trainees can increase the challenge of this exercise by holding a weighted medicine ball which can be touch to the ground during each rep.

Holding the proper chest angle becomes just as difficult as the rotation motion as trainees get towards the end of the set.
