Russian Twist: how to do it and form tips

Bodyweight rotational ab move. Twist side-to-side from a V-sit position to hammer the obliques.

Form tips

  1. Lean back ~45°, knees bent, heels light or off the floor.
  2. Rotate from the torso, not the arms — hands stay close to the chest.
  3. Touch the floor behind each hip on each rep for full range.
