Tips

Actively engage your core muscles throughout the entire movement to stabilize your spine and protect your lower back. Maintain a square hip position by resisting the urge to rotate your hips along with your torso, focusing on twisting from your ribcage. Perform the exercise with a slow, controlled tempo, avoiding any momentum that could compromise your form and reduce muscle activation. Relax your shoulders and avoid shrugging or tension in your upper body, allowing the movement to originate from your core and obliques.
