Hammer Grip Anterior Shoulder Raise With the Core Hammer in the hammer grip, bend the knees slightly and engage the core. Raise both arms forward to shoulder height and back down with control. Great for the shoulders but also provides an effective stability challenge. Be sure to do both sides.

Core Hammer Lever Pushup This is one of the most unique exercises that can be done with the Core Hammer. A strength, stability, core and grip strength exercise, all-in-one. Starting in the pushup position with the left hand on the head and the right hand over the tail end. Lower into a pushup. As you come back up, pull the tail end away from the ground and stabilize on your left arm. Be careful, one side might be easier than the other.

Hammer Grip Sit-Up Once again, start in the hammer grip position but this time you are on your back. Get an awesome core ďŹ nisher as you tap the Core Hammer to the ground behind you, sit all the way up and tap the ground in front of you. Be sure to repeat on the other side.

Core Hammer Slam The classic sledgehammer slam without the tire. You can hit the Core Hammer on just about any solid surface. Start in the hammer grip position. As you extend the Core Hammer up and over slide your top hand down to meet the bottom. When the Core Hammer impacts the ground you should be in a squat with your core and lats fully engaged. As the Core Hammer bounces, retract it back in to the starting position and repeat. A little practice will help with alternating from side-to-side.
