Russian Twist Instructions

1. Lie down with your legs bent at the knees.
2. Elevate your upper body so that it creates a V shape with your thighs.
3. Twist your torso to the right, and then reverse the motion, twisting it to the left.
4. Repeat this movement until the set is complete.

Proper Form And Breathing Pattern

Keep your back straight at all times and twist your torso only from the ribs up. If you’re a beginner, keep your heels on the floor and, if you’re more advanced, bring your legs up and cross them. Breathe out as you twist your torso.
