Equipment
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and grab the handle with both hands, arms fully extended in front of you.
Keep your hips and legs stationary, twist your torso to the side away from the machine, pulling the cable across your body.
Hold this position for a few seconds, then slowly return to the starting position.
Repeat this motion for the desired number of repetitions, then switch sides to ensure balanced strength training.
Pro Tip
**Maintain Core Stability**: The cable twist is a core exercise, so it's essential to keep your abs engaged throughout the movement. This will not only help you perform the twist more effectively, but it will also protect your lower back. A common mistake is to let your hips and lower body rotate with your torso, but try to keep them as stable as possible. **Controlled Movement**: Avoid using momentum to twist your body. Instead, use your core strength and control the movement. This will ensure that your muscles are doing the work and not your momentum. **Keep Your Arms Straight**: Your arms should remain fully extended and parallel to the floor throughout the exercise
