Russian-Twist with Extended Lifted Leg

Setup

Sit on the floor with your legs fully extended, keeping them slightly lifted off the ground. Lean your torso back slightly, maintaining a straight, engaged spine to form a V-shape with your body.

Movement

1. Clasp your hands together in front of your chest.

2. Initiate the movement by rotating your entire torso to one side, bringing your hands toward the floor near your hip.

3. Keep your legs steady and your core tight throughout the rotation; avoid swinging your legs along with your upper body.

4. Rotate back through the center and continue in a controlled, fluid motion to the opposite side.

5. Keep your gaze directed forward or follow your hands to maintain focus on the oblique contraction.
