I was thinking I could either use Hanging leg raises as my 3rd exercise or maybe using that thing that lets you sit and twist your torso with resistance ( I don't know how to describe it any other way). But is that Torso twisting thing any good? I dontn have any rotational core exercises so I thought that would be good to throw in.

Or maybe you think I should replace one of the weighted decline situps or cable crunches and use both hanging leg raises and the twisting machine?

Thanks for your time.

As a side note, I have a great rotational exercise. Grab a pull up bar, pull up so the elbow joint is at 90 degrees, then hold. Raise the legs to a 90 degree angle (parallel to the floor) and hold and rotate in a slow controlled movement to the left, right, back and forth.

Ive seen them called a typewriter AND windshield wipers. Theyre cool shit, I tried doing them and couldnt keep my legs straight.

Pendelums are what I am trying today...theyre a lil stabilty, rotation, and balance.
