6 Weight Training Exercises You Can Do At Home

Exercise #6

Plank Rotations

Step 1: Hold a dumbbell in each hand and get down in the plank position with your arms extended under your shoulder, your body aligned in a straight line and well balanced on your toes and palms.

Step 2: Engage your core and swing your left arm up toward the ceiling. As you extend your arm up, keep your eyes glued on the dumbbell. You will have to twist your torso but make sure that you keep it stabilised

Step 3: Get back to the initial position and repeat for the other side. This makes 1 rep.

Do 2 sets of 12 reps each. Plank in itself is extremely effective when it comes to losing weight and enhancing core strength. You can also try the renegade row, which is a plank variation done with dumbbells. Do not forget to keep your hips perfectly stable. Do not push it up and do maintain your posture.
