Russian Twist

  • Sit on the floor with your knees bent and lean back slightly until you feel your lower abs engage. Hold the ends of the foam roller with both hands.
  • Lift both feet off the ground, balancing on your tailbone. Try not to round the back by keeping your abs engaged and lifting your chest up.
  • Rotate your torso to the right using your obliques (the muscles on the sides of your belly) to power the movement. The end of the foam roller will be a few inches off the ground to the right of your belly.
  • Rotate your torso back to center and perform the same twist on the left side.
  • This completes one rep.
  • Perform three sets of 24 reps, followed by a 30- to 60-second rest.
