How to do the Cable Floor Seated Twist

Sit on the floor with your legs extended and spread out slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, facing the cable machine.

Adjust the cable machine so that the pulley is set to the lowest position. Attach a handle to the cable.

Reach forward and grasp the handle with both hands. Your arms should be extended, but without locking the elbows. This is your starting position.

Brace your core and keep your hips and legs stationary. Begin the movement by rotating your torso to one side, pulling the handle and cable with you as you twist.

Rotate back to the center and then twist to the other side.

Complete the desired number of repetitions, alternating sides with each twist.

Maintain control throughout the exercise, focusing on the contraction of your oblique muscles during each twist.

Use a weight that allows you to complete the exercise with proper form, avoiding any jerky movements or use of momentum.

Please ensure that you perform this exercise with proper form and a weight that is appropriate to your fitness level to prevent injury. Also, consider performing a warm-up before starting this exercise and a cool-down after finishing your workout session.
