Plate Steering Wheel

Overview

A weight plate core exercise is a type of strength training workout that targets the muscles of your core, including the rectus abdominis, obliques, transverse abdominis, and lower back. The exercise typically involves holding or moving a weight plate while engaging your core muscles to stabilize your spine and perform the movement correctly.

Description

Let's get started by grabbing your weight plate and having it straight out in front of you in both hands.

This is the starting position.

From here, twist the plate from side to side like you are driving. Once you have done both sides this is one repetition, now repeat this for the desired amount.

You can change the intensity of this exercise by increasing or decreasing the weight of the weight plate.
