#6 Russian Twist
Targets: Abdominals and obliques
– Sit on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor
– Hold your arms straight out in front of your chest with your palms facing down
– Lean back so that your torso is at a 45-degree angle to the floor
– Twist to the right as far as you can, pause, and then reverse the movement and twist to the left
How to Make it Tougher:
Keep one leg off the ground throughout the whole movement. Switch to the other leg on the next set.
Also, you can hold a medicine ball or a weight plate in front of you while doing the exercise.
Things to Avoid: Improper positioning. Remember to keep your chest up and shoulders back and maintain great seated posture throughout the whole movement.
