    How to: Cable Kneeling Twist

    1. Begin in a kneeling position facing the cable machine, holding the handle with both hands.
    2. Engage your core and pull the handle to your side while twisting your torso.
    3. Return to the starting position and repeat, alternating sides.

    Common Mistakes

    • Rounding the back instead of keeping it straight.
    • Twisting too quickly without control.
    • Using too much weight too soon.

    Modifications

    • Perform the exercise without weights or with a resistance band.
    • Use a stability ball for added support.

    Tips

    • Keep your core engaged throughout the movement.
    • Start with lighter weights until you master the form.
    • Ensure that the twist comes from the torso, not just the arms.
