Rotary torso
- Adjust the seat height so the pads sit comfortably against your chest or shoulders, and grip the handles firmly.
- Rotate your torso to one side using your core muscles, keeping your hips and lower body stationary against the seat.
- Slowly return to the starting position with control, resisting the weight as you move back to the center.
Tips
- Keep your hips and legs pressed firmly against the seat throughout the movement so that the rotation comes entirely from your torso.
- On the return, resist the weight as your torso comes back to center rather than letting the machine pull you back passively.
- Rotate only as far as you can control the movement without your hips shifting or your lower back arching away from the seat.
Common mistakes
- Allowing the hips to rotate or lift off the seat as the torso turns, so the lower body is no longer stationary.
- Using momentum to swing the torso through the rotation instead of moving at a controlled speed in both directions.
