Success Tips

•Keep your knees slightly bent and feet on Standing Platform.

•This exercise must be performed correctly—failure to do so could result in injury. Use only low weight Rods.

•Keep all motion in your torso.

•Move only as far as your muscles will take you—do not use momentum to increase your range of motion.

START

•Stand with one side toward the Power Rod® unit. Grasp the Hand Grip closest to you with both hands.

•Raise both arms up near shoulder level, hands extended over the leg closest to the Power Rod® unit.

•Keep your elbows slightly bent.

ACTION

•Tighten your entire abdominal area and slowly rotate your rib cage and arms away from the Power Rod® unit 30-40°, as if you were rotating with a rod through the middle of your spine.

•Slowly reverse the motion, returning to the start position without relaxing muscle tension.
