How to perform?
Russian Twists are a dynamic and challenging exercise that targets the entire core region, including the rectus abdominis, obliques, and lower back muscles. During this exercise, you will sit on the floor with your knees bent, holding a weight or medicine ball at chest height. As you twist your torso from side to side and touch the weight to the ground, you will activate and engage your abdominal muscles while also strengthening your back and improving your overall posture. This exercise is not only effective for building core strength and endurance, but it also helps to improve your rotational power and stability, making it a perfect addition to any athlete's training program.
