Exercise Description

Cable Rotational Lift is an excellent workout that targets abs and also involves obliques. This exercise also improves shoulders and hip mobility and stability.

Exercise Instructions

  • Step 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.
  • Step 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.

Exercise 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.
