18 Anti-Rotation Exercises to Build and Bulletproof Your Core

In talking about core strength and how we’re supposed to RESIST motion, rather than CREATE motion (crunches, trunk twists) … Anti-rotation might be the key. Anti-rotation means resisting motion at the lumbar spine (lower back). When a force is being delivered that’s trying to cause trunk rotation, it’s the core’s job to prevent that from happening. The core has two tasks. 1) Prevent movement and 2) Link the upper and lower body to create power. This is important because: proximal stiffness enhances distal athleticism. Translation: when your core is strong and you’re properly bracing the trunk, you’ll move faster. This means a stronger core equals greater speed and strength. AKA: run faster, lift heavier, move better. Plus, having a stable spine is essential for injury prevention, especially when it comes to the lower back.
