Russian Twist

Russian twists are a core exercise that target the obliques, the muscles on the sides of the abdomen. Here are the steps to perform them:

• Sit on the floor with your knees bent and your feet flat on the ground.
• Lean back slightly and keep your spine straight.
• Hold your hands together in front of your chest or hold a weight if you want to increase the difficulty.
• Twist your torso to the right and touch your hands or the weight to the floor next to your right hip.
• Twist your torso to the left and touch your hands or the weight to the floor next to your left hip.
• Repeat for the desired number of reps and sets.
