As you work on your Russian twist, you can hold your hands in a variety of places: hands clasped at your chest, arms at chest height with palms together, or hands behind your head (which is the most challenging).
- Sit on the ground with your knees bent and your heels about a foot and a half from your butt.
- Lean slightly back without rounding your spine at all.
- Place your hands behind your head with elbows wide.
- Pull your navel to your spine and twist slowly to the right. The movement is not large and comes from the ribs rotating. Inhale through your center and rotate to the left. Come back to center.
- This completes one rep/rotation. Aim to do 12 to 15 reps per set.
