How to: Suspender Twist
- Start by adjusting the suspension straps to waist height.
- Grab the handles of the straps with both hands and lean back while keeping your body straight.
- Twist your torso to one side, engaging your obliques.
- Return to the starting position and repeat on the other side.
- Continue alternating sides for the desired repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Allowing the hips to drift sideways instead of keeping them stable.
- Overextending the upper body during the twist.
- Using momentum rather than controlled muscle engagement.
Modifications
- Perform the exercise at a lower angle to decrease difficulty.
- Reduce range of motion if experiencing discomfort.
Tips
- Keep your core engaged throughout the movement.
- Ensure your back is straight and avoid twisting at the hips.
- Focus on controlled movements rather than speed.
