ABS HIPS OBLIQUES SHOULDERS

Instructions

  1. Stand so that your body is perpendicular to the system of adjustable pulleys placed at floor level. Push your hips back and slightly bend your knees to lower your body. Grasp the D-handle with both hands. The handle should be just behind the knee, closest to the cable tower.
  2. In one movement, rotate your torso upward towards the opposite shoulder. Both arms should be extended, and over the outer shoulder, the back should now be facing the cable station. Slowly reverse your movement to return back to the starting position.

Tips

  • Don't make movements with your hands. Use your abs and obliques to twist.
  • Always maintain cable tension.
  • Slowly return the cable handle back to its original position and use the press to resist the movement.

Dead Bug is a popular 'core' exercise used to target the trunk muscles (erector spinae, obliques, rectus abdominis, and transverse abdominis), which together provide a strong base for our moving limbs so we can maintain good form whilst running.
