trunk twists

Core spinning exercises

Trunk twists are a stretching or warm-up exercise in which you rotate your torso from side to side while keeping your hips relatively stable.

The movement targets the obliques and lower back, improving spinal mobility: We started with some trunk twists to loosen up.

Also called torso twists.
