Machine Trunk Rotations

Stand on the swivel plate and grasp the handles.

1. Twist your hips from side to side. Ensure that you keep your shoulders stationary.

2. Bend your knees slightly while controlling your movements. You should begin with a light weight load.

Notes: Depending on what machine your gym has, you may alter this exercise by keeping the hips stationary as your rotate your shoulders while keeping them straight. This exercise works the external and internal oblique with secondary emphasis on the rectus abdominis. To feel the effort more strongly, you can slightly round your back.
