Cable Russian Twists (On Stability Ball)

How to perform

Here are step-by-step instructions for performing Cable Russian Twists (On Stability Ball):

1. Start by sitting on a stability ball and walk your feet forward until your lower back is supported by the ball. Your knees should be bent at a 90-degree angle and your feet should be hip-width apart.

2. Grab a cable handle attached to a low pulley machine or cable machine with both hands and lift it to chest height. Keep your arms straight throughout the exercise.

3. Engage your core muscles to stabilize your body on the stability ball.

4. Slowly rotate your torso to the right, keeping your arms straight and parallel to the floor. Exhale as you twist.

5. Hold the twist at the end range of motion for a moment, then slowly rotate back to the center.

6. Repeat the twist to the left side, again holding at the end range of motion before returning to the center.

7. Continue alternating twists from side to side for the desired number of repetitions.

8. To increase the intensity of the exercise, you can increase the weight on the cable machine or hold a medicine ball or weight plate in your hands.

9. Remember to keep your core engaged and your movements controlled throughout the exercise to avoid straining your lower back.

10. Aim to perform 2-3 sets of 10-12 repetitions on each side. As you become stronger, you can increase the number of sets or repetitions.
