FitCi
Step-by-step
- Sit in the machine and adjust the chest pad and handles to fit your body.
- Secure your knees and hips against the pads so the rotation comes only from your torso.
- Squeeze your abs and rotate your torso to one side under control.
- Pause for 1 second at the end point and feel the contraction in your obliques.
- Return slowly to center while resisting the weight.
- Once you finish the set on one side, switch to the other side for the same number of reps.
Coaching tip
Keep your hips fixed in the seat and rotate using only your abs; no swinging, all control.
