Instructions
1. Select an appropriate weight on the lever trunk rotation machine.
2. Sit on the machine with your back flush against the seat pad, feet flat on the floor, and knees bent at a 90-degree angle.
3. Position the side padding against your torso comfortably, securing the opposite side of your waist.
4. Grasp the handles in front of you with both hands, keeping your arms slightly bent.
5. Exhale and rotate your torso to one side, keeping your hips and legs stationary.
6. Rotate until you feel a full contraction in your oblique muscles on the side of your torso.
7. Pause briefly then inhale and slowly return to the starting position.
8. Repeat the motion for the recommended number of repetitions.
9. After completing the set on one side, adjust the side padding to the other side of your waist and perform the exercise for the same number of repetitions.
Make sure to keep the movement controlled, avoiding any jerky motions or using momentum to lift the weight. It's important to select a weight that allows you to complete the exercise with proper form, focusing on the contraction of the oblique muscles.
