Rotational movements are complex and involve vertebrae. Make sure you want to perform them after you understand the core engagement with other movements to avoid injury.
Anti Rotation Core Exercises 2
Another side of the ab day. If you get bored by doing normal planks, adding these to your workout may be a good mix. You can do them at home with some weights or maybe I can teach you at my personal training gym!!

Some Lat stretches for Rounded Shoulders
Stretching lat is not as important as chest stretch. Yet it is always good after the muscles are trained. Especially if you have a tight lat, try to add those stretches in your routine. I can also help you stretch by partner stretch at the end of personal training sessions.
Ab Training with BOSU
I think I talked a lot about abs exercises. That’s because I love them. If you want to get a six pack, consistency is always the key. Don’t hope the results come in a week. When you start out, you should think this is the long term goal.
Gluteus Medius/Minimus exercises
Working on big muscles by doing squats, lunges and deadlift are fun for sure. But don’t forget to train these small muscles that stabilize your lower body. Since these are core muscles, these muscles need to have endurance training first.
Trying one of Shohei Ohno trainings
It is not Shohei Ohtani (although I am always excited to see him playing baseball) but Shohei Ohno who is a legendary Judo athlete, and I think he is a beast. He is a 2 times Olympic gold medalist and well known as pound for pound (as a fan of MMA, talking about pound for pound is so exciting).
Some of the Abs Exercises I learned while doing Gymnastics
These are not necessarily the best choice for ab exercises if you consider how “safe” they are (I don’t give any of them to my personal training clients). However, I do them once a while when I want to feel “burn” after the training.
Stretching for Tight Neck
It seems like almost all people I know, have a tight neck. Yet most of them ignore it and do nothing about it. Remember if you don’t use it, your body will forget what the normal would be. Your body needs a maintenance regularly like your car or a bike.
