So Many Wonderful Ways to Work Your Abs With the Russian Twist

Lifting the feet off the ground forces the abs to work more. You will feel this in the lower part of your abs, too.

• Sit on the floor with your knees bent. Pull your abs to your spine and lean back a few inches while lifting your feet off the floor. Be sure to keep your back straight.
• Reach your arms out in front of you and twist your torso to the right, then to the left, to complete one rep/rotation.
• Start with 12 to 15 reps per set.
