• Remaining in the same position as the bi-lateral squat with your feet now positioned toward the bottom of the squat stand shoulder width apart
• Rest your hands across the chest or lightly behind the ears
• Contract the abdominal muscles to raise your shoulder blades away from the guideboard
• Maintaining tension in the abs, slowly lower the torso until the shoulder blades lightly touch the glideboard then return to the initial position

• With the rails positioned at a low to mid-level, grasp the handles and pull the glideboard halfway up the rails. Straddle the rails and sit towards the top edge of the glideboard facing the tower
• With tension in the cables, extend arms directly toward the pulleys and lift feet off the floor, palms face in
• From an upright seated position, pull the handles straight back, until hands reach the sides of the torso. Maintain good posture as the hands return with control back to the starting position
• To add some variation, place both handles in your right hand, pull the handles straight back, and add a slight torso rotation as you look to the right side maintaining strong posture as the hands return to the starting position. Remember to repeat on both sides

• Using a twisting motion from the waist, rotate the spine away from the tower, maintaining the triangle shape between the forearms and the trunk. Maintain a stable, upright posture, and slowly rotate the torso toward the tower
• To add some movement variation and target the oblique muscles, remain in the same torso rotation position, keep the handle in both hands and reach up into an incline torso rotation while your eyes follow your hands
• Once you have completed the incline torso rotation, perform the decline rotation by moving the handle in a downward position to target the external oblique muscle group
