How to do it

  1. Kneel on the machine so both knees rest against the padded brace on the rotating footplate.
  2. Grip the two vertical handles at chest height and set a tall, still upper body.
  3. Select a load that lets you turn without yanking the handles or lifting the knees.
  4. Keep the hands, chest, and head facing the same way while the hips and knees rotate to one side.
  5. Pause at the end of a controlled turn, then rotate the lower body back through center.
  6. Repeat to the other side, staying quiet through the shoulders and arms.

Common mistakes

  • Turning the whole upper body with the handles, which dumps the work into the arms.
  • Using so much load that the knees lift off the pad.
  • Rushing the return so the stack yanks the hips back through center.
  • Rounding the trunk instead of staying tall over the kneeling brace.
