Açıklama
Half Wipers is an effective oblique abdominal exercise where legs are moved side to side like a wiper while lying on your back. This movement intensely targets the internal and external oblique muscles, lower abdominal muscles, and deep core stabilizers. As a half version of the full wiper movement, it offers a more controlled range of motion. It's an excellent choice for developing rotational core strength and spinal mobility. Controlled execution of the movement reduces risk of lower back injury and ensures better muscle engagement. Ideal for intermediate athletes, this movement forms a foundation for progressing to full Windshield Wipers over time.
