How To Do A Dumbbell Woodchopper Exercise Demonstration Video and Guide
The dumbbell woodchopper is a functional total body exercise that strengthens your core.
To get started:
- With a stance just outside shoulder width, grab a dumbbell with both hands, contract your abs, and raise the dumbbell over one shoulder, with arms extended.
- To lower the dumbbell, bend your knees, twist your torso, then under control, explosively move your arms across your body and down to the opposite foot, with your arms straight.
- Focus on maintaining a flat back. Do not round your back.
- Think about the movement you would use to chop a tree with an axe.
- Reverse the movement back to the original position.
- Complete the reps on one side, then repeat with the other side.
