Suspension Trainer Pendulum Low

Video coming soon...

The Pendulum low workout is a suspension trainer exercise that targets the obliques.

The suspension trainer is used to perform pendulum movements, engaging the oblique muscles.

By stabilizing the body and creating an unstable environment, the suspension trainer forces the obliques to work harder.

While other muscles may be activated to support the movement, the focus of this workout is primarily on the obliques.

Stand facing the suspension trainer, with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms extended in front of you.
Lean forward from your hips, keeping your back straight, until your body is at a 45-degree angle to the floor.
Grab the handles of the suspension trainer with an overhand grip, palms facing down.
Engage your core and bend your elbows, pulling your body towards the handles.
Continue pulling until your hands are next to your ribs and your elbows are at a 90-degree angle.
Slowly extend your arms, returning to the starting position.
Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions.

Focus on maintaining a strong and stable core throughout the entire Pendulum low exercise. Engage your obliques by imagining a string pulling your belly button towards your spine, creating a solid foundation for your movements.
Keep your body in a straight line from head to toe, avoiding any sagging or arching. This alignment will not only target your obliques effectively but also activate your entire core, enhancing your overall strength and stability.
Control the movement by using a slow and controlled tempo. Avoid swinging or using momentum to cheat the exercise. This deliberate approach allows you to fully engage your obliques and maximize the benefits of the Pendulum low exercise.
As you lower your body towards the ground, focus on the side of your body that is closer to the suspension trainer. Visualize your obliques contracting and working hard to control the movement, creating a deep burn and promoting muscle growth.
Challenge yourself by increasing the difficulty of the exercise. You can do this by adjusting the angle of the suspension trainer or adding a twist at the bottom of the movement. Pushing your limits will not only improve your form but also help you progress towards more advanced exercises.
