MY FAVORITE 12 DUMBBELL EXERCISES: th-cam.com/video/31OrSOYUvVg/w-d-xo.html
As always, you're great; breaking it down, well explained, no yelling or obnoxious music. Thanks!
To say I've been doing these "wrong" would be a huge understatement. My footwork was nonexistent, so I was putting lots of torque on my lower back. Thank you!
I've been watching many, many videos on dumbbell woodchopping and you explain and demonstrate it the BEST. Your explanation is phenomenal, so keep it up, thank you!!
i came to learn the woodchop and stayed for everything else.
your precision in explaining these exercises is greatly appreciated
Well articulated. great teacher! I'm a trainer in the making and appreciate your videos! keep it up!
Nice job. Great demonstration, gives the impression you're a great instructor. Very professional.
thank you for your straight-forward clear explanation on how to perform the exercise correctly.
Great job Kai, thanks!
This video shows in detail the most efficient method to carry the exercise. It corrected a number of errors I was not aware of. Many,many thanks.
Fantastic instructions and breakdown. Thank you.
Thanks Kai for the precise instructions and demo. That's an exercise I'm not familiar with but want to try it out as it looks like it works the body through all 3 planes of movement.
Thank you Kai!
Exactly what I was looking for thanks
Thanks best demo I've come across for me
Great trainer. Thank you.
Best dumbbell woodchop tutorial ever!👍
Thank you so much kai
Best instructional video. Very thorough.
Thanks so much for this video. Very informative compared to many of the others I've come across.
great demo, I've been doing these with an un-resistant exercise band - and since I don't own a cable machine, I'm going to try these - thanks Kai!
Very helpful. Finally understood the stance and the kinesis.
Very helpful. Thank you.
Nice explanation. I was doing the exercise while my whole core and lower body are stationary. Will try your method.
Excellent explanation. Thanks
Omg, this video is a treasure ! Thanks. Never done them before, bit after watching it once, I nailed it
This is truly efficient and very pleasant to perform.
Thanks🎉
Thank you for this good demonstration. I just learned that this is a good exercise for people who are 50 and older. I need to tone my abdomen, so I will start doing this to see if it helps me.
Love the way she is so descriptive first, on correct posture.
The best demostration..thank you so much..i love it.
Thank you for the excellent explanation of how to position my body correctly as I do these. The visuals help, of course. But your clear instructions help me focus on form as well as movement!
WANT TO STRENGTHEN YOUR OBLIQUES? WATCH THIS! th-cam.com/video/nPONcEAgxgs/w-d-xo.html
Thanks!
She's the first person I have seen do this exercise correctly
excellent...
This is great. Looks most safe for spine.
Perfect. I shall use this while holding my katana so that I may strike down my foes. Just one more technique to aid my blade studies.
Brilliant
Ms. Kai could you also demonstrate, overhead wood chop dumbbell exercise.
Thx :)
thanks for breaking it down. I was wondering if it mimics the actual act of chopping wood but I dont think so
thanks!! you look amazing
perfect
Thanx luv
Dope Video. I did the work out and it's helping my body improve. I definitely feel it in my abs. Thanks.
Her body 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Your obliques say it all!!!
can I do this effectively without a dumbbell?
you have a natural good body keep up the good work
Wow!!!! Who is your his Bronze Queen???? Goodness.
What percentage of body weight should I do?
I'm been doing this exercise wrong for years.
Okay, my Jurassic isn’t rounding and I held in my spatula...what next?!?
how many? One side and then the other I'm guessing?
🔥 demo from a 🔥 looking lady
damn watching her do this in 2x seems more funny hahaha!
The feet should be planted while the upper body ONLY does the twist.
Slow the speed way down-you don't want momentum to take away the burn.
This is what I was thinking!!!
can we do this to reduce side fat????
Unfortunately you can't spot-reduce fat. But work out to sculpt/build muscle, and lose fat all over your body with a high protein low carb diet. I'm not a professional trainer or anything, but I've been a Paleo CrossFitter for a while now so I have experience :)
@@rachelgrinbergs thx for the info
1:30 is when she actually shows the exercise.
Bro, it's 2:28 long, have some patience.
I can just see hammer throwers using this to improve their technique when they're winding up to throw.
I came here to "retract that scapula" ;)
that was hot!...good form
My husband uses these plans from Woodglut and is very happy with them. However. I love yours!
I'm not sure about this
I don't think you're gonna cut much wood with this technique, but goddamn if you're not gonna look good afterwards
that's how everyone chops wood IRL
I did it with Woodglut.
She has an awesome body!
Why not split firewood for real? I have an extra maul, you can join me anytime.
you have an incredible body
This is a very nice video but I'm sorry to tell that this isn't the correct way to do the woodchopper. The focus of this exercise lies in the obliques yet you are not actually using them. The exercise consists out of 3 movements: a twist, a squat and a pulldown with straight arms so analyse how the muscles in those exercises work and then you will figure out where you went wrong.
Greetings
I'm no PT, but I was thinking the exact same thing. She doesn't look to be engaging the obliques with that constant twisting and pivoting into the rotation.
@@Reizermo the obliques are providing stability for the lower spine.
Hahaha!
sILLY GIRL! THIS MOVEMENT IS dangerous. compress spine & no abs.
just look at the pressure... it in ON the spine. D/B WORK IN OPPOSITION TO GRAVITY. to make it an ab movement must hang horizontal . maybe off the hyperextension rack.
What are you saying? How do you look at pressure? Is it being measured?
pff it's about the obliques. if you move your entire body like that, you haven't acomplished shit
Not so sure about that, given that the main function of the obliques are core stabilisation.
"You haven't accomplished shit" . Just give counter advise to it. Not insulting comments.
+James Martin well James, my point is that in order toactivate the obliques you have to keep your pelvis into place and only rotate the upper part of the body from that point. you can get a better contaction if you do the move at an angle like the girl in the video but keep in mind not to move from hips down. there you have it.
Yeah, i was thinking the same thing.. In this video she pretty much just moves the entire oblique in stead of contracting it.. i'm sure the exercise is good for something.. but it's not isolating the obliques..
Now, that was WELL said Mr. Spider and hopefully she will learn from this as well.
Good explanation but not the right form. You got to keep your arms straightened with elbows locked at all times and not pivot is needed. The foot just needs to be pointed out with the direction you are rotating as not to hurt your knees. Keep the body straight is key as this provides a resistance as you rotate your torso that targets obliques. Hope it helps.
you guys are idiots for trying to correct her that fact that she plants the heel before the pivot giving you stability prior to the twist is where the Oblique is hit.....fitness is a sphere folks Gtfoh with your condescending comments she obviously is doing something right just look at her.
The main point of the core is to Stabilize your body by generation counter-rotational force. It's NOT an active muscle itself that moves things around like your arm. As you rotate your pelvis, you want to keep your upper body IN LINE with your pelvis and leg, thus preventing it from creating involuntary movement. Now, exercises such as band or cable rotation does require you to hold your lower body fixed, but the woodchop is not that kind of exercise. Furthermore, it really does not matter whether you straighten or bend your arm. When you straighten your arm, the center of mass is further away from you, thus making the exercise more difficult. However, same level of difficulty can be achieved via simply adding more weights while still having bent arms, and having straight arms can be very taxing on some people who have weaker shoulders.

Dont kill her vibe man
What a babe! I'm in love
Nice body
Oh my Jesus you’re beautiful.😍😍😍😍
I like my version better; yours has too much rotation
sharmoota
she looks like 50 cent
+ComMander0525 she doesn't and is it really necessary to make that comment?
Dan Walker yes she is !
Perhaps you mean "does" not "is". But then, that would explain a lot.
Dan Walker explain what ?? that she looks like him ?
+ComMander0525 can you be any more stupid? Perhaps if you learn to speak English we can continue this conversation
