Hi, my name is Erin and I'm a former US Junior Olympics certified swim
coach and personal trainer and fitness is my passion. So I cannot wait to
share it with you guys.

All right, onto the floor where most of the magic happens, one of my other favorite
exercises is the Russian Twist. A modification, if you're new to this,
not so strong, just keep your heels on the floor, lean back slightly. If
you are a more advanced exerciser you can bring your legs up and cross them
but I'm going to show the modified version for now. Take your medicine
ball, lean back, you should already feel the contraction in the abs, and
then you're just going to tap the ball from side to side. If you're
feeling adventurous, bring the legs up for a greater burn. You could do
3 sets of 30 to 40 of those, they're pretty quick but you should feel a nice
burn.

I didnt know what a russiwn twist was on the aot workout 😭😍😍😤😤

[scottrobert]

The twisting motion should originate at your hips, with your upper torso/arms to follow. She's doing less of a twist and more of a rocking motion with her arms.

i just had my first personal trainer session this weekend and she made me do this with a medicine ball.  but no crossing the feet, and you have to go slowly, not quick like that.  its a LOT harder going slowly!!  and keep shoulders square and move the whole torso, not just the arms.

this is going into my femboy body workout folder for sure

I just watched a video on what not to do. And this is it. 😂

During my new daily workout, I had to spend five minutes searching up the last exercise, the Russian twist. This was helpful, I appreciate it.

1.First incline to a point so that you can feel your abs working
2. Try maintaining that posture
3.Now slowly twist your abs to the side of your weight (ex left side)and make sure that the opposite shoulder tries and aligns to the midline or atleast hips
4 hold position momentarily and then repeat it on the other side
During the whole time maintain position

We had to do this exercise in pt one morning it really worked my core when we were done I went to release my bowels lets just say I was literally was 4lbs lighter afterwards. "More pt! More pt! Make it hurt first sergeant, make it hurt!"

0:43 "that is called the russian twist"
uuuhm. no?! thats called uneffective movement.

[Dimitris.Apostolopoulos]

I really didn't know how to do this exercise.. Thanks!

[andrewruiz]

wow this is a really bad instructional video. the point is to work out your core but shes not even doing that, shes just moving her ams side to side

[whitelightning]

Please concentrate on full range of motion for best results. You'd be better off alternating between the boat(boat pose) and real Russian twists. 3 sets of each (6 total) for 20 counts (or more)

[sharkdj]

Thank you so much! You're the best!

[anneharvey]

In this video it appears she is barely twisting her torso and simply moving her arms back and forth. She’ll get core engagement from holding the position with legs elevated, but she is not getting the full oblique engagement that a twist is meant to do.

0:08 SHE SAID IT GUYS, SHE SAID THE THING

[adityakamath]

I have a question to ask in russian twist can we put legs on the floor or must it be lifted up a bit

[pamelalewis]

I will be adding this to my workout today. Thank you

My stomach hangs so bad. I've lost 60 pounds and going for 60 more. I'm trying to avoid getting a tummy tuck. I looked up what can help that and it said this exercise with a bunch more. Hopefully it helps some.
