Torch your core & obliques with Single Russian-Twists! A dynamic move for a stronger, more sculpted midsection.

Instructions

    • Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.

    • Hold your arms above your head with your elbows slightly bent, palms facing each other.

  2. Engage Your Core:

    • Tighten your abdominal muscles to stabilize your torso. You should feel your core engaged.

  3. Movement - Twist:

    • Rotate your torso to the right, keeping your arms elevated.

    • As you twist, lift your right knee up towards your chest, bringing it in alignment with your hip.

  4. Return Position:

    • Lower your right leg back down as you return your torso to the starting position.

    • Quickly transition to the left side, twisting your torso to the left while lifting your left knee up towards your chest.

  5. Repeat:

    • Continue twisting from side to side for a set duration or number of repetitions.

Tips:

  • Keep your movements controlled to avoid straining your back.

  • Focus on using your core to power the twists rather than your arms.

  • Maintain a steady pace and breathing throughout the exercise.
