How to do cable twist

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, facing the cable machine.
  2. Hold the cable handle with both hands in front of your chest, keeping your arms slightly bent.
  3. Engage your core and twist your torso to the right, pulling the cable across your body.
  4. Pause for a moment at the end of the movement, feeling the contraction in your abs and obliques.
  5. Slowly return to the starting position, resisting the cable's pull.
  6. Repeat the movement to the left side.
  7. Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions.
