Why Being Strong in Rotational Movements Benefits You

Rotational training translates not only to all sports but everyday life activities. Training rotation allows your body to execute movements during the day with strength and power. This support helps you avoid serious injuries.

Rotational exercises work through the hips and trunk. Better functional strength in the trunk muscles will improve torso rotation. This will lead to efficient movement in everything your client does during training.

The core is responsible for all movement and without it, your body does not have a base of support or stability. Here are some other methods to incorporate in your core training.

Review the following list of benefits with your clients so they understand the importance of including rotational exercises.

  • Improve hip mobility

  • Better lower back health

  • Increase performance

  • Improve core strength

  • Reduce risk of injury

  • Improve other lifts

  • Increase speed and acceleration

You can implement rotational exercises into your client's training program in different ways. Adding rotation to the list of your foundational movement patterns is one of the easiest ways. You can also consider integrating rotational exercises at the beginning of a workout during a mobility routine. Or even at the end of the workout. Figure out what works best for your client and help them hit that next level of fitness!
