This month on Trainer Tip Tuesday we will be discussing considerations when you are doing side bends on an incline bench. The side bend exercise targets your core muscles in one of their four primary functions, so if you aren’t doing some variation of this exercise, you are leaving your core vulnerable to be weak and your low back vulnerable to injury. This week we will be discussing what you should be focusing on while doing side bends to make this exercise as effective as possible.
When doing the side bend exercise, making sure your focus is on the exact muscles you are trying to work will not only help you get better results from this exercise, it will also keep you in tune with your so you can detect if there are any issues going on.
Understanding this can help you be more strategic with your exercise decisions as well as help this exercise be more effective.
Check out all of the details in this week’s episode of Trainer Tip Tuesday, and be sure to tune back in next week as we discuss more considerations when doing side bends on an incline bench.
