Grasp the handles of the machine with both hands, keeping your arms slightly bent and your chest up.
Exhale and twist your torso to one side, using your abdominal muscles to control the movement and keeping your back straight.
Inhale and slowly return to the starting position, ensuring your movements are controlled and slow.
Repeat the twisting movement to the opposite side to complete one repetition, and continue for the desired number of repetitions.
Pro Tip
Controlled Movement: Avoid fast, jerky movements. Instead, twist your torso slowly and in a controlled manner. This not only helps to effectively engage your core muscles but also reduces the risk of straining your back. No Over-twisting: Do not twist your body beyond its natural range of motion. Over-twisting can lead to injuries, especially in the lower back. It's a common mistake to try and twist too far in an attempt to feel the exercise more intensely. Remember that the aim of the exercise is to work the obliques, not to twist as far as physically possible. Breathing Technique
