How to perform

Adjust the seat so the pivot point aligns with your midsection. Secure your feet, maintaining a slight bend in your knees. Grasp handles firmly, elbows slightly bent. Engage your core and maintain an upright posture. Slowly rotate your torso to one side, controlling the motion with your obliques. Pause briefly at the end of the rotation. Return to the starting position in a controlled manner. Repeat on the opposite side.

Tips

Engage obliques, avoid momentum. Maintain a slow, controlled pace. Relax your shoulders. Exhale during rotation, inhale on return. Keep hips stable. Start with lighter weight to ensure proper form.
