Step-By-Step Instructions to complete a Woodchop:
- Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and turned out slightly.
- Push your hips back until your thighs are parallel to the floor, keeping your back straight.
- Hold one dumbbell with both hands, next to the outside of your right calf, with your torso twisted slightly to the right side.
- Now twist your torso up and to the left, lifting the weight up and across your body with straight arms.
- As you twist to the left stand up and raise the dumbbell over your left shoulder with straight arms, facing the dumbbell. You should be using your core muscles to control this movement.
- Return to the starting position, reversing the twist and bringing the weight down as if chopping wood.
That is one woodchop. Complete all reps on this side, then switch and complete all reps on the other side
