Sitting Woodchopper on a Chair
Seated on a chair, sweep the clasped hands from above one shoulder down across the body to the outside of the opposite knee.
How to do it
Setup
Seated tall on the front of the seat, feet wide and flat, hands clasped above one shoulder.
Steps
- Chop the hands down and across to the outside of the far knee.
- Turn the chest with the hands; the hips stay on the seat.
- Return along the diagonal; switch sides after the set.
Common mistakes
Swinging only the arms: the trunk turns and the arms follow. Tipping forward off the seat: stay tall on both sit bones. Rushing the way back up: the return is controlled too.
Breathing
Exhale on the chop, inhale returning.
