Torso Resistance

The Skill: Core Strength

Strong muscles in your torso and hips generate force and support the movements of your arms and legs, whether you're swinging a golf club or jumping waves.

The Move: Torso Resistance

Attach a resistance band to the knob of a closed door. Hold the band in front of you in both hands, keeping your arms straight. Turn so you're standing with your right side facing the door. Take a few steps to the left until you feel resistance; hold that position for 30 seconds. Engage your core to keep your torso from turning toward the door. Rest for 10 seconds. Do four reps, then turn around and repeat on the other side.

Body Bonus

This exercise also improves your posture.
