Tips for Performing Lever Kneeling Twist

• Engage Your Core: The Lever Kneeling Twist is a core-focused exercise. Therefore, it's important to engage your core throughout the movement. By doing this, you not only work your abdominal muscles effectively but also stabilize your spine, reducing the risk of back injuries.
• Proper Movement: Hold a lever or a dumbbell with both hands and extend it out in front of you. Then, twist your torso to the right and then to the left. Make sure you're not just moving your arms but actually twisting from your torso. A common mistake is to move the arms while keeping the torso static, which reduces the effectiveness of the exercise.
• Controlled Motion: Make sure your movements are slow, controlled, and deliberate. Avoid quick, jerky
