Cable Russian Twists (On Stability Ball)
Bridged over a stability ball side-on to a cable stack, turn the handle away from the pulley on straight arms; the cable pulls you back toward it.
How to do it
Setup
Side-on to a pulley set at chest height, upper back on the ball, hips up, the handle held in both hands on straight arms above the chest.
Steps
- Rotate away from the stack until the arms point to the far side.
- Hold the hips up as the ball rolls under the shoulders.
- Come back to the middle slowly against the cable; finish the side, then switch.
Common mistakes
Cable yanking you back past the middle: resist it all the way in. Hips dropping during the turn: keep the bridge level. Pulling with bent arms: they stay long while the chest turns.
Breathing
Exhale rotating, inhale returning.
