How to do bodyweight woodchoppers

Coach's Tips

Raise your arms and swing them down to the side.

Start Position

1. Ensure your back stays straight and avoid rounding it.

2. Keep your core engaged and maintain an uplifted chest during the movement.

3. Execute the movement slowly and with control.

Proper Form

1. With extended arms, rotate your torso and arms to one side and then to the opposite as if chopping wood.

2. Engage your core and keep your chest up the entire time.

3. Perform the exercise at a controlled and slow pace.

Breathing Technique

1. Exhale as you twist your torso and arms.

2. Inhale when returning to the starting position.

Precautions

1. Position your feet slightly wider than hip-width apart with toes pointing outward.

2. Slightly bend your knees and hinge at the hips, keeping your back flat as you lean forward.

3. Extend your arms out to the sides, with palms facing downward.
