Half Kneeling Pallof Press (Cable)

Core anti-rotation exercise performed with cable in a half-kneeling position to enhance core stability and strength.

2. Assume a half-kneeling position perpendicular to the cable machine, with the cable on your right side.
3. Hold the handle at your chest with both hands, elbows bent at 90 degrees.
4. Keep your core engaged and resist any rotation as you press the handle straight forward away from your body.
5. Your arms should extend fully while your torso remains facing forward.
