Russian Twist

Abs Dumbbell

Description

The Russian twist with dumbbell is a variation of the traditional Russian twist exercise, adding resistance to increase the challenge for the core muscles. While seated on the floor with knees bent and feet lifted, individuals hold a dumbbell with both hands and rotate their torso from side to side, touching the dumbbell to the ground on each side. This exercise effectively targets the obliques and improves rotational stability, enhancing overall core strength and aiding in sports performance or functional movements.

How To

01 Sit with knees bent, feet lifted slightly
02 Lean back, brace your core, hold the weight
03 Rotate your torso, tap the weight beside your hip
04 Twist through center to the opposite side
05 Keep it controlled, breathe through each rep
