STOP doing Russian twists❗️ Do these instead for better core activation. #HeyDrRob #corestrength

Bro, you HAVE to twist your spine to work your obliques; that's how the human body is designed. Doing what you just did with your legs only works the hip flexors, not the abs. Plus, what's the point of the medicine ball? That exercise only works the lats and pecs, if anything. Same thing as a dumbbell pullover. If the spine wasn't designed to move/twist, it would just be a solid bone, and we would have no oblique or core muscles to stabilize it. If your tailbone and back hurts after doing "stupid" Russian twists, you're doing them A) Wrong like you did, B) Too often (it's possible) or C) Using too much weight because your core muscles aren't strong enough to support that much.

He was doing those Russian twists completely wrong not to sound like a smart Alec but that’s not how you’re supposed to do Russian twists you’re supposed to keep the weight centered in the middle of chest with a little bit of distance and twist your spine. You don’t use your arms and push the weight side, the side like he was doing and you don’t understand. Just watch a short on YouTube on Russian twists and if you’re back is hurting, it’s probably because of two reasons one you’re using too much weight and you probably have horrible form

Thx I did the Russian twist last night and hurt my back

If your back hurts after doing one session of Russian twists that means you have to work more on your back so you build more muscle on your back but if you do Russian twists for weeks non-stop ad your back hurts a ton then you should take break between 1 to 4 days I am not an expert on this but I do Russian twist a lot and that is what helps me if it doesn't help you ask someone you trust or someone you know is an expert or at least know what there talking about

It's just.. interesting that it's called "Dying Bug". I hope there's a better name variation out there. It doesn't sound lively nor vitalizing 😂

You are not initiating the movement from the abs, they move because of the movement of the arms and legs. Horrible tip.

Thanks I’ll try 200 of these a day, instead of Russian twists

Stupid twists…. Yeah I can tell you have an awesome core!👎🤣

Or do them both 🤯 and Russians fight better, look at the ufc. I rather do what the “stupid Russians” are doing. I like winning 😂
