How to Perform
- 1
Stand facing the machine and take a handle in each hand at head height.
- 2
Hinge at the hips and pull both handles down past your hips, finishing with a crunch.
- 3
Let your arms return overhead as you stand back up.
- 4
Keep a steady rhythm for the target distance or time.
Tips
- ★Drive with the hinge and the core, not just the arms - it is a hip movement first.
- ★Hold your feet planted; bouncing wastes energy without moving the fan.
