@@rosalynbrown1613 I have a bad back. I can't do planks for more than two weeks without my back to start hurting permanently. It's not that I can't do planks, or that I have a weak back (in fact, I had quite a strong back already as a child) , it's just a few compressed disks in my lower back that makes planks inappropriate for me.

Another great video. I love how you combine enough explanation without getting too deep into the science with the reason for your advice. I am now off to buy your book.
After a spinal fusion, rods, screws, and all, I was told not to twist or bend too much. Besides planks, I don't see much out there for core strength that doesn't include that. This was so helpful, thank you!

All those years in the gym and I've never been introduced to this exercise. Looking forward to adding it to my regular routine and seeing my core strength improve. (And who knew what a clever artist Will is on top of his other amazing qualities? 😀) Thank you so much, Will! I'm definitely going to share this video.
I hope some of my other talents are stronger than my artistic ones! I'm glad my video was able to introduce something new and I hope it proves beneficial :)
Wow😯This is first time that I’ve understood a standing abdominal exercise. Before this video, I thought I had to always lay down to work abdominals. Your explanation was excellent❤I love it. I just hit subscribe!
I started doing this then added to it. So, with the band on the right side I push my arms forward, like he shows, then turn at the waist to my left. Great exercise
Thank you so much! I recently had surgery to repair ventral hernia and also bariatric surgery. I was concerned about flabby skin around core and also wanted to do everything I could to strengthen abdominal muscles so hernia repair was successful. I showed this to my surgeon and he approved it. I have found it has done wonders. Thank you again. Looking forward to your other videos.
Thank you for getting my tips checked by your healthcare provider - I'm pleased they are suitable and beneficial for you, wishing you all the best in your continued recovery journey :)
Another great video! Thanks Will. Its so helpful to to get these tips - I've learned so much being a subscriber and following you. I also am really enjoying your 3 tip Friday email.

Hope you pick up this request. I suffer from what is sometimes termed “a shin splint”. Pain between knee and ankle. Are there any exercises to make this discomfort go away.
Excellent exercise, thanks mate! I love your videos. I'm 51 and do reformer pilates which helps me a lot. But your exercises are great for active recovery in between those workouts. ❤
Will.Thankyou for this drill..I have been searching for an exercise for strengthening the core that would also be safe for my scoliosis condition..I will try this out..
Tk you very much. I have seen people doing this in the gym, so now I understand and will start doing it myself. Tk you again. You are a great pedagogue
Luv, luv, luv your channel! Clear and concise, your exercises are simple and affective. Having Costochondritis, makes crunches, and other exercises out of the question for me. It seems that you consistently, seek out and share the most affective and least complicated exercises. Thank you. And, you’re adorable.
Considering the fact that a specially designed gym machine where you twist in the waist left and right would do nothing but harm to your spine this is a nice alternative.
Gosh, Will, i needed this so badly! I happen to have a couple of bands...even a red one! Along with the exercises I've been given from the PT's, this will help so much! It's so much easier than any of the core exercises I've seen. Thank you so much! I'm off to practice! ❤❤
I'm so pleased my video came at the right time! And I'm pleased you have the bands ready to get started. I hope this move proves beneficial for you - wishing you all the very best :)
Excellent exercise. My PT here in New York taught me a permutation as well. Same starting position but you thrust your hands vertically up, almost like an overhead press. So your core works against being tipped over. Also works well.
My physio adds an extra step, where the arms are at full extension, I twist my upper body (waist fixed in space) and turn my upper body away from the bands fixed location.
Thank you for purchasing my book, I hope you find it packed full of interesting content - I'm pleased my work is able to help those who I am not able to see in person :)
can you recommend a suitable band please? (I live in China and will need to buy one online) and... I am also learning to sing (improve my tone) for which I am doing breathing-type exercises. Do you reckon this exercise you are showing will help? Enjoyed your style and clarity Many thanks iain
Please don’t say, “tummy “. It is a patronising euphemism and I suspect that there will be a minority of Edwardian virgin aunts viewing your channel who might be offended by the words stomach or abdomen.
Love your videos. I know a lot of over 50 including myself like to do our workouts in the pool. Could you do some videos showing what we can do in pool or add some suggestions how to adapt some exercises for pool use.
I don't have anything at home to attach the band to my side. I tried to create a kind of Isometric version, where I held the band doubled with both hands shoulder width in front of then pulling back on one side like an archery elbow back pull, but resisting a torso twist tightening my core, then from the other side each time not letting my torso twist to the pulling side.
I love how you explain its ab anti-rotation motion, by demonstrating the torso, shoulder and arm twist that WOULD HAVE happened if you never engaged the core muscles at all. As a child, I was all about copying my older brother's arm and shoulder strength as he taught me baseball, football stuff, then bt age 9, tennis and swimming. I realized by my 30"s that I was prone to overuse injuries in shoulder. Also, my swimming days were mostly pulling with arms and shoulders, not enough kick or core. We were string bean skinny in our family, so it worked for children. At 73, I've discovered how I need remedial core training to maintain balance and avoid falls. You are a lifesaver, Will!
Wow. , Thanks for all your advice Will. You have a great way of explaining things. I Have had on going problems with my lower back. and my right shoulder, and will be doing some of you recently seen . 3 most important exercises, as well as this one. ITs all starting to make SO MUCH Sense to me now. Thanks again.
Would this be a suitable for a 9 year old? My granddaughter is weak on her left side and has little core strength due to cerebral palsy. It might be a great exercise to do together. Thank you for presenting stretches and exercises in a way that not only makes sense, but is also motivating.
Great content as always, when I do this movement I am feeling much more in arms and not so much core. Perhaps you can offer something I can look at why this is so?
I've never heard of this exercise before. What I really like about it is I can exercise my core without having to lie down. This is especially important since I like exercising at work during lunch.

Wow--this is a great exercise! I've been looking for something that's not a sit-up or a crunch. Thank you so much, Will, for all that you do for us.
So pleased you liked it - very happy I could offer something new!
What a great exercise! Thanks Will!
Thank you Will just perfect judy

I have my moments :)
But he kept saying the exercise is anti-rotational, so to twist would seem to miss the point. I wish he would answer this.
@@missmayflower twisting to the opposite side that is

Is there a way to modify this that is not so hard on the hands?
I really need to try this exercise for my core ,crunches I can't do due to my back .thank you very much .

Thank you gor another great video. Short but incredibly useful. Honestly, thank you 🌞
So glad it was helpful!
Thank you Will. Terrific analogy as always. Will give it a go. All your videos are superb. Can’t thank you enough.

I'm pleased my video came at the right time for you!
Oh you're right, who knew ageing equalled having your lower back feel like a door hinge due to pure overuse to do friggin anything worth doing!❤
Loved the book and all you do. Much appreciated.
Would have been better with your shirt off, so we could actually see your core working. 😊
Great easy simple workout, thanks. Be doing it at home anytime.
Great to hear!
I'm 55 and I cycle about 4 to 6 hours every week. Is cycling enough to strengthen my core or do I also need to do what you described here?

Anti-rotation movement; new vocabulary for me. Thank you for your explanations.😅👏💐

It would be great to see this demonstrated on a cable machine to be sure to do it correctly
Considering the fact that a specially designed gym machine where you twist in the waist left and right would do nothing but harm to your spine this is a nice alternative.
Pleased I can provide a safer alternative!
Thanks @HT-Physio. Should we change sides during this exercise?
Yes, you turn around and work on the other side.
Gosh, Will, i needed this so badly! I happen to have a couple of bands...even a red one!
Along with the exercises I've been given from the PT's, this will help so much! It's so much easier than any of the core exercises I've seen.
Thank you so much! I'm off to practice! ❤❤
Yes, having a bunch of therabands is a sign of a bit too much familiarity with the PT department.
I'm 80 with a hip replacement, sepsis and bacterial meningitis, so I need a LOT! LOL😂
Will has been a great help!
I'm so pleased my video came at the right time! And I'm pleased you have the bands ready to get started. I hope this move proves beneficial for you - wishing you all the very best :)
Thank you ,this is credible,will try this to train my core without lying down.👍👍👏🏻👏🏻❤️

Thanks Will I have been doing this one since you posted it. It has really helped, in general and for my hobby, Scottish Country Dance.
Excellent exercise. My PT here in New York taught me a permutation as well. Same starting position but you thrust your hands vertically up, almost like an overhead press. So your core works against being tipped over. Also works well.
QUESTION: Do every day or every third day (48 hrs off between)?
Nonsense and poorly informed. This is just bracing. Misleading and wrong.
My physio adds an extra step, where the arms are at full extension, I twist my upper body (waist fixed in space) and turn my upper body away from the bands fixed location.

Question. I have a case of Diastasis Recti. Would you suggest this exercise in helping to heal it?
I am fused from C/2-T/1. Could I consider this with my neuro?
If I go to England, I'll try to know you, Will Harlow, and to give you a gifit from my country.

like most amateurs he just talks and talks, gotta get those u8tubeview seconds.
This seems very much like a Pallof Press. Am I incorrect?
Is it possible to do this exercise from a wheelchair? I need to strengthen my core to aid balance.
can you do this excercise if you have a bulging disc
J'y!
I'm definitly going to try.
All other abdominale exercices heurtés.
Thak you for sharing.
Excellent suggestions and explanation. I just wish doctors would change the name from "core" to "midpoint"! I'm not an APPLE!
Awesome. Now I can upgrade from lifting two soup cans! This is hardcore.

Hi, nice video. What gym machine do you recommend suggest if the cable machine wont adjust?
Any exercise without equipment?
You didn’t show how to do it the opposite way.
Great move and exercise. But you should probably show where to anchor the band on something that everybody would have in their home.
Great video with proper explanations.
Though looks simple but very powerful.
I will include in my daily routine Will.
Great to hear you'll be putting this to good use!
Trying to figure how how to do this in my home setup without running out and buying more stuff... Thanks for all your videos. Very motivating.
Looks late 20s, gotta long way to go … but a start
