The Hanging Windshield Wiper exercise is a powerful core workout, enhancing flexibility and strength in your obliques. Hang from a bar, rotating your legs side-to-side, improving control, stability and athletic performance.
Start by hanging from a pull-up bar, both hands shoulder-width apart, legs together and straight down.
2
Lift your legs and rotate your hips to one side, until your legs are parallel with the floor.
3
Pause for a moment and then return your legs back to the centre.
4
Repeat the movement on the opposite side.
5
Avoid swinging your body and use your core to control your movements; this will ensure you're operating from your abdominal muscles rather than using momentum.
