Russian Twist

Video coming soon...

The Russian twist is a bodyweight exercise that primarily targets the obliques, the muscles on the sides of the abdomen.

In this workout, the bodyweight is used to twist the torso from side to side, engaging the obliques.

While other muscles such as the rectus abdominis and hip flexors may also be involved, the focus is on the obliques.

Sit on the floor with your knees bent and your feet flat on the ground.
Lean back slightly, keeping your back straight and your core engaged.
Extend your arms in front of you, clasping your hands together.
Lift your feet off the ground, balancing on your glutes.
Twist your torso to the right, bringing your clasped hands towards the right side of your body.
Return to the center and then twist your torso to the left, bringing your clasped hands towards the left side of your body.

Start by sitting on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground.
Keep your back straight and engage your core muscles throughout the exercise.
Hold your hands together in front of your chest, or if you want an extra challenge, hold a weight or medicine ball.
Twist your torso to one side, bringing your hands or the weight beside your hip.
Exhale as you twist and inhale as you return to the starting position.
Repeat the movement to the other side, alternating back and forth for the desired number of repetitions.
