Tutorial
1
The cable pulley is set at the height of the lower chest. Use a one-handed grip and hold the handle with both arms. Hold the cable in front of you with outstretched arms. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart so that the cable tower is next to you. Stand slightly away from the cable tower so that you have continuous tension during the exercise.
2
Turn your upper body in the opposite direction to the cable tower by tensing your left lateral abdominal muscles. Do not pull with your arms, but work from your stomach. Breathe out as you do this.
3
Slowly rotate your upper body back to the starting position. Keep your lateral abdominal muscles tensed in this position. Breathe in as you do so.
4
One repetition has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions, first with your left side and then with your right side.
Tip
Your abdominal muscles are tensed throughout the exercise.
