Primary Muscles Used
Balance Torso Rotation and Press Instructions
- Set the RIP Trainer at shoulder height.
- Set up either balance disks, bosu ball, or any other balance equipment.
- Hold the bar in both hands, shoulder width apart with an overhand grip. Then step away from the machine at a 90 degree angle and step on the balance disks.
- Starting with your lower body and hips rotate away from the anchor by driving your lead leg up.
- Tighten your core to force your torso to follow your hips moving away from the machine.
- When you are facing opposite the anchor, press your hands out to full extension.
- Bring your arms back so the bar is touching your chest, and return to starting position.
- Repeat.
- Start out slow with this exercise and as you gain balance, increase the speed.
- The most challenging part of this exercise is getting your lead leg to pop quickly without falling.
