Russian Twist

How to do the Russian Twist

1. 1

   Lie down on the floor placing your feet either under something that will not move or by having a partner hold them. Your legs should be bent at the knees.

2. 2

   Elevate your upper body so that it creates an imaginary V-shape with your thighs. Your arms should be fully extended in front of you perpendicular to your torso and with the hands clasped. This is the starting position.

3. 3

   Twist your torso to the right side until your arms are parallel with the floor while breathing out.

4. 4

   Hold the contraction for a second and move back to the starting position while breathing out. Now move to the opposite side performing the same techniques you applied to the right side.

5. 5

   Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
