Exercises: The Saxon Side Bend

Exercises: The Saxon Side Bend

Some strength coaches call this the most effective exercise you can do to strengthen the core muscles.

To perform it, simply hold two light dumbbells overhead with your feet spread about 18 inches apart.

Now bend slowly to one side, come back up and bend to the other side.
You'll immediately know why we recommend light dumbbells!

Keep the torso tight and the dumbbells held the same distance apart throughout the movement. Do about six reps per side.
