Seated Twist with Alternating Leg Rotation | Core Control for Postpartum & Perimenopause
5Looking for a core exercise that challenges rotation, control, and coordination—all while staying seated? This Seated Twist with Alternating Leg Rotation (a functional twist on your classic Russian twist) is perfect for rebuilding core control postpartum or adapting core work in perimenopause.
💥 Why it works:
Trains cross-body coordination
Targets obliques
Builds rotational control without holding your breath or bearing down (remember to exhale before and during effort)
✅ Pro Tip: If your back hurts, dial back into paying more attention to your abs and/or bring your knees closer to your chest. It’s not about how fast you go—it’s about control and breath.
This one’s especially great for postpartum moms managing diastasis recti or pelvic floor symptoms who are ready to move beyond basic core exercises.
