Guide

The Cable Seated Russian Twist is a dynamic core exercise that targets the obliques, enhancing rotational strength and stability. Using a cable machine, this exercise involves seated twists that engage the entire core, especially the sides of your abdomen, providing a comprehensive workout for your midsection.

  1. Set the cable machine to a low pulley position and attach a handle or rope attachment.
  2. Sit on the floor facing the cable machine, legs bent and feet flat on the ground, ensuring your knees are together.
  3. Grab the handle with both hands, keeping your arms slightly bent and close to your chest.
  4. Lean back slightly, engaging your core to maintain balance.
  5. Twist your torso to one side, pulling the cable across your body while keeping your hips stable.
  6. Pause briefly at the end of the twist, feeling the engagement in your obliques.
  7. Return to the starting position with controlled movement.
  8. Repeat the twist on the opposite side, ensuring even engagement of both sides.
  9. Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions.
  10. Focus on maintaining a steady breathing pattern, exhaling as you twist and inhaling as you return to the center.
