waist side bending

The FitGenix Selectorized Waist Side Bending Machine is a unique core-strengthening device engineered to isolate and strengthen the obliques , transverse abdominis , and other stabilizing muscles of the midsection through controlled lateral flexion movements. Using a smooth weight-stack resistance system, this machine allows users to safely perform side bends while maintaining proper posture and spinal alignment.

Users sit upright with their hands behind the head or across the chest and bend sideways at the waist against resistance. This motion activates the external and internal obliques, helping to improve core stability, posture , and functional strength .

The machine features an adjustable seat height and padded supports to ensure comfort and correct form for users of all body types. It’s especially beneficial for enhancing trunk mobility , improving athletic performance, and supporting injury prevention in both commercial gyms and rehabilitation centers.
