The landmine rotation is a variation of the Russian twist and an exercise used to target your obliques. The landmine rotation utilizes the landmine implement to keep the weight in a fixed movement pattern as you move it through the range of motion.

The landmine rotation is an effective exercise which can develop core strength and the way the core utilises the stretch shortening cycle. This exercise develops strength through resisting rotation and lateral flexion (side bending) of the spine. Strength, stability and speed in these movements are crucial in punching hard.
