Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Swing Torso Twist.
A dynamic standing exercise where you swing your arms and rotate your trunk from side to side in a fluid, rhythmic motion. It warms up the thoracic spine, activates the obliques, and improves rotational mobility through a comfortable range of motion.
The Swing Torso Twist is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
