#5 Russian Twists
The Russian Twists are excellent for toning the entire abdomen region while focusing extensively on the obliques.
Instructions:
Step 1: Lie on the floor in a supine position and place the feet close to each other. Ensure that your feet stay in position throughout the duration of the exercise. Raise the torso such that it makes a 45-degree angle with the floor.
Step 3: Extend the arms forward and twist your torso to the left such that the arms touch the ground. One could either extend the arms fully extended or with the arms slightly bent at the elbows.
Step 4: Pause for a second and return to the initial position. Perform the same motion on the other side to complete one rep.
Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions.
Important tip: Perform this exercise while holding a weight plate for added resistance and improved customisability.
