1. Start Position: Inhale as you bend away from your weight-bearing side. 
2. Middle Position: As you bend, concentrate on crunching your upper body directly to your side. 
3. End Position: Continue to bend as far as possible, keeping your lower body stationary, feeling the stretch in your oblique. Hold for 1/2 a second, squeezing your oblique. 
4. Return to Middle: Exhale as you slowly return to starting position.
5. Return to Start: Hold for 1/2 a second feeling the stretch in your oblique. Repeat the movement for the recommended number of repetitions. For each set, perform the entire exercise for one side of your body. Duplicate the exercise for the other side of your body.

Start at this Position:

• Attach the single grip handle to the low-pulley.
• Add the prescribed weight.
• Stand sideways to the equipment and grab the pulley. Keep your wrist straight.
• Do not lockout your elbow.
• Move one-step sideways from the equipment.
• Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and knees slightly bent.
• Look straight ahead. Keep your back straight and your head aligned with your spine.

1. Throughout the entire range of motion:

   • Keep your head aligned with your spine.
   • Bend directly to your side, not forward or backward.
   • Keep your lower body stationary, only moving from your waist.
   • Keep your feet shoulder width apart with a slight bend in your knees.
   • Keep your feet flat on the floor.
   • Concentrate on using your oblique and abdominals. Do not jerk your body or use momentum.

2. Do not perform this exercise if you feel discomfort in your lower back.

   At start position, do not lockout your elbow; keep your lower body stationary.

    

3. At end position, concentrate on bending form the waist only. Do not jerk your body or use momentum. Keep your lower body stationary.
