04.01.2022 Even though were back in the gym, well still be showing you some of our fave exercises and the correct techniques to do them. Whether youre still working out at home or are back into your usual gym routine, these exercises can be easily added into your workout or recovery session. In this video, Jaeden will be show you how to do the Transverse Plane. Benefits: The Transverse Plane is one of three planes of movement and covers any movement incorporating rotation. Rotationa...l movements not only increase the complexity of an exercise, but will usually place further demand on the stabilising muscles of the core in order to support the trunk. Many of the movements that we perform throughout day-to-day life do not incorporate the Transverse Plane, meaning it can be quite often ignored. This means that without an importance being placed on these movements during exercise, the risk of injury increases. Adding transverse movement to an existing exercise or workout can be a great way to ensure you are sufficiently challenging the stabilising muscles of the trunk. Remember, this information is intended as a guideline only and everyone is different. If you experience any pain or discomfort while exercising, it is best to seek further advice from a medical professional before continuing.
