Exercise Profile

Bosu Russian Twist Overview

The bosu Russian twist is a core exercise that primarily targets the obliques and abs.

The bosu, a half stability ball, adds an unstable surface, intensifying the engagement of the core muscles.

Seated on the bosu, the twisting motion engages the obliques, while the abs stabilize the body.

While the bosu Russian twist may engage some auxiliary muscles, its primary focus is on the core muscles.

Bosu Russian Twist Instructions

  1. Place the bosu on the floor with the dome side facing up.
  2. Sit on the bosu, positioning your buttocks near the center of the dome.
  3. Lean back slightly while lifting your feet off the ground, balancing on your buttocks and keeping your knees bent.
  4. Extend your arms straight out in front of you, interlocking your fingers.
  5. Engage your core muscles and slowly rotate your torso to the right, bringing your clasped hands to the right side of your body.
  6. Pause briefly, then rotate your torso to the left, bringing your hands to the left side of your body.
  7. Continue alternating the twisting motion from side to side, maintaining control and stability on the bosu.

Bosu Russian Twist Tips

  1. Position yourself on the bosu ball with your feet firmly planted on the ground, knees slightly bent, and your core engaged. This stable foundation will allow you to focus on activating your obliques and abs throughout the exercise.
  2. Hold a weight or medicine ball with both hands, extending your arms straight out in front of you. This added resistance will intensify the workout and challenge your muscles even more.
  3. As you twist your torso to the right, exhale and contract your obliques, feeling the burn in your side muscles. Keep your back straight and avoid using momentum to swing your body. Control the movement and maintain a steady pace.
  4. Pause for a moment at the end of the twist, squeezing your abs to maximize the contraction. Visualize your waistline getting smaller and your muscles getting stronger with each repetition.
  5. Return to the starting position by twisting your torso to the left, inhaling deeply as you do so. Remember to keep your core engaged and maintain proper form throughout the exercise. Aim for a smooth and controlled motion, rather than rushing through the movement.
