Medicine-Ball Russian-Twist

Setup

• Sit on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat.

• Hold a medicine ball firmly with both hands in front of your chest.

• Lean your torso back slightly until you feel your abdominal muscles engage to keep you upright. Ensure a straight back.

Movement

• Lift your feet slightly off the ground to balance on your tailbone.

• While keeping your pelvis stable, rotate your torso from right to left.

• Move the medicine ball with your hands, accompanying the rotation of your shoulders.

• Continue the controlled rotating movement from side to side for the desired duration or repetition range.

Tips

• Keep the movement controlled and focus on core activation rather than using momentum.

• If this is too difficult, keep your heels on the ground.

• Maintain a steady breathing rhythm throughout the movement.
