The russian twist builds strong obliques and core stability. It targets side abs while improving rotational strength for sports and daily movement.
1. Sit on the floor with knees bent and feet flat. Lean back slightly to engage your core. 2. Lift your feet off the ground or keep them planted for easier russian twist variation. 3. Clasp hands together in front of your chest. Keep your back straight and chest up. 4. Rotate your torso left, touching hands to the ground beside your hip. Feel the squeeze in your obliques. 5. Return to center, then rotate right. Keep the russian twist movement controlled throughout each rep.
• Keep your chest up and back straight during the entire russian twist movement • Move slowly and control the rotation - don't just swing your arms around • Breathe out as you twist to each side for better core engagement • Start with feet on ground if the russian twist feels too hard with feet raised
• Moving too fast and using momentum instead of muscle control during the russian twist • Rounding the back and slouching forward, which reduces effectiveness and risks injury • Only moving the arms instead of rotating the entire torso for proper russian twist form
