Unilateral (one side at a time)

How to do it

  1. Sit in the rotary torso machine, adjusting the seat and backrest.
  2. Secure your legs and torso under the pads to isolate the rotation.
  3. Grip the supports and rotate your torso to one side against the resistance.
  4. Contract your obliques at the end of the range without using momentum.
  5. Return slowly to the start, resisting the load, and repeat before switching sides.

Common mistakes

  • Using body momentum instead of the obliques
  • Rotating beyond the spine's comfortable range
  • Lifting the hip off the seat when rotating
