How To Do The Russian Twist Properly

Ah, the Russian Twist, a move of strength and grace, alluring in its complexity. It is a dance not many are brave enough to enter into, but those who do emerge with an enviable level of core stability and strength that is hard to match.

To perform the Russian Twist properly one must first sit on the ground with their feet flat, knees bent, back straight, and core engaged. Hands should be placed together in front of the body before lifting them up to the chest. From this starting position one must shift their weight onto one side as they twist their torso over the opposite side of the body, twisting from the waist rather than just moving the arms. After returning to the starting position, repeat on the other side.

Focus should be kept on creating a slow, controlled movement while alternating sides 8-10 times per side. As comfort and strength increase, reps can be increased or a weight may be added for additional resistance. The Russian Twist is an effective way to strengthen and tone one’s midsection, and with proper form it can be a great step in increasing core strength.

Never forget that prior to beginning any exercise, dynamic warm-up exercises should always be performed to prepare the body for activity and reduce the risk of injury. Now go forth and try the Russian Twist; you won’t regret it!
