The Russian Twist is an awesome exercise that hits the Abs and the Obliques. If you aren't sure what obliques are, they look like abs on the side of abs, or bars of muscle that point toward the Abs.
To start the Russian Twist, you will need to sit down with your knees bent about 90 degrees, and you might need to anchor your feet under something stable and heavy. With your lower body in position, lean your upper body halfway between fully upright and laying on the floor. I like to start my repetitions while I am facing forward. From here, rotate just your ribs, shoulders, arms and head to the one side of you body, then rotate fully to the opposite side, then come back to start. While you are doing this twisting motion, you need to keep you core engaged, so you don't fall back.
For your Russian twists, you can:
- Tap the floor near your hips before rotating to the other side or back to start
- Keep your arms crossed over your chest to make it easier for you
- Hold something weighted or heavy to increase the challenge
- Hold your hands/fists up as if you were fighting/boxing, then punch with the fist that is opposite the side of your rotation (basically, if you twist left, you will punch with your right, and vice versa)
Work hard. Improve yourself. Be the Hero. You got this.
