Seated Cable Twist: how to do it and form tips

A seated rotational core exercise at the cable machine that isolates the obliques through a controlled twisting motion against consistent resistance.

Form tips

Sit sideways on a bench at the cable machine with the pulley at shoulder height.
Hold the handle with both hands and rotate away from the cable using your torso only.
Keep arms straight throughout — the movement comes from your core, not your arms.
