Exercise - Russian twists

The Russian twist targets all the muscles in your core and stabilizes your spine.

1. Sit down with your knees bent at 90 degrees and feet flat on the ground. Lean your torso back until it’s at about a 45-degree angle from the floor, keeping your back straight.
2. Using both hands and with arms bent, hold a dumbbell or other weight above your abdomen. If that’s too difficult, do the exercise without the weight. To make the move more challenging, lift your feet a few inches off the ground and balance on your rear.
3. Twist your torso and arms as far as you can toward the left. Repeat on the right side and alternate.
