Half-kneeling wood chop is an exercise that involves moving your arms in a wood chopping motion while half-kneeling.

It’s great because:

It can be easily adapted to your fitness level: this exercise uses a dumbbell but you can choose the right weight for you and increase the load if needed.

It improves hip mobility and stability: this exercise will help open up your hips which is great if you’re sitting down for long periods of time every day.

It targets every part of the core: unlike crunches and sit-ups, this move works the sides, surface and deep core muscles.

Move of the week: strengthen your core (and arms) with half-kneeling wood chops
