New Core Training Exercise – Bridging Tornado Ball

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

vid00158_0001

This video demonstrates a tornado ball rotation while bridging on a swiss ball. Dynamic stabilization of the entire torso; the abdominals AND posterior chain. The lifter has to bridge and remain parallel to the floor throughout the movement and remain fixed while the tornado ball is rotating.

If you do not have a tornado ball, a med ball in a sandbag/dufflebag/pillow case can be used.

The great thing about this exercise is that the lifter is isometrically contracting the anterior and posterior chains against a dynamic, ever changing tension.  This increases the frequency AND intensity of the motor unit recruitment which is exponentially more beneficial than a static, long duration contraction.  Not only that, there is also a deceleration and acceleration component to the lift as well.

Think interval training rather than slow, low intensity treadmill.

Also, this version is easier on the shoulders than the standard swinging overhead version of the tornado ball.

Oh yeah, the video is a LITTLE FOGGY :).  We were in the middle of a conditioning circuit and the camera guy was heated!

Check out my new article in Men’s Fitness.  The original article was titled How to Increase Punching Power for MMA Athletes, but it has been restructured to:

Get a Fighter’s Physique

Throw serious punches to build muscle and burn fat

Get yourself a copy of the magazine for this month, or check it out online.  The article comes with a pretty extensive workout program.  In the magazine, I have a couple other small blurbs too!
