Machine Kneeling Twist
Kneeling on the rotating pad of a torso machine with the hands on the fixed handles; the hips and legs turn side to side under a still chest.
How to do it
Setup
Kneeling on the pad, thighs upright, chest facing the machine, hands on the handles at chest height.
Steps
- Turn the hips and the pad to one side against the weight.
- Keep the chest and shoulders facing forward.
- Return through the middle and turn to the other side.
Common mistakes
Pulling with the arms to turn: the hands only hold on. Swinging the pad: control it both ways. Sitting back on the heels: keep the thighs upright.
Breathing
Exhale rotating, inhale returning.
