Russian Twist
Russian twists target the obliques through rotational movement. Sit with your torso at a 45-degree angle, hold a weight at your chest, and rotate side to side.
How to Perform
1
Sit on the floor with knees bent and feet slightly elevated (or on the ground for easier version).
2
Lean back to roughly 45 degrees, keeping your back straight.
3
Hold a weight at your chest and rotate your torso side to side.
4
Touch the weight to the floor beside each hip.
5
Move with control — do not rush through the rotation.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Rotating too fast and using momentum.
Rounding the back instead of keeping it straight.
Moving only the arms instead of rotating the entire torso.
