How to do Cable Seated Twist
The cable seated twist is an exercise targeting the abdominal muscles, particularly the obliques, using a cable machine. It involves rotating the torso while seated, providing resistance throughout the movement.

- Sit on a cable machine with your feet flat on the ground and your knees slightly bent.
- Hold the cable handle with both hands and extend your arms straight in front of you.
- Keeping your core engaged, slowly rotate your torso to one side, pulling the cable across your body.
- Pause for a moment at the end of the range of motion, then slowly rotate back to the starting position.
- Repeat on the other side.
- Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions.
