Wellness Wednesday: Half kneel side chop

This is a phenomenal core exercise design to teach the body how to stabilize itself and maintain proper alignment. The magic of this movement comes from the weight crossing the midline of the body. As you move your hands from high right to low left the body must switch which muscles it is using to keep your core solid and resist compensation. This has a tremendous carry over to everyday life as we constantly encounter varying stresses that we need to manage. Whether you want to just look great or work on any movement issues this needs to be a staple in your program.
