Windshield Wiper: how to do it and form tips

An advanced hanging core exercise where you rotate both legs side to side like windshield wipers. Demands extreme oblique and hip flexor control.

Form tips

  1. Hang from a bar and raise straight legs to 90 degrees or higher.
  2. Rotate both legs to one side then the other in a controlled arc.
  3. Beginners start with bent-knee wipers — straight legs are far harder.
