Russian Twist
Muscles involved
The Russian twist rotates your torso while seated. It trains the obliques and builds core stability.
How to do it
- Sit on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat, holding a weight plate or dumbbell in front of your chest, and lean your torso back slightly.
- Rotate your torso to the right, bringing the weight towards the floor beside your hip.
- Pause at the side, feeling the contraction in your right oblique.
- Rotate back to the center and then twist to the left in a controlled motion.

Tips
- Keep your core braced to maintain a stable spine. - Rotate from your torso, not just your arms. - Squeeze your obliques at each side of the twist. - Keep your legs elevated and stable to increase core engagement.
