1. Oblique Muscle Strengthening:
Russian twists are renowned for targeting the oblique muscles, which play a pivotal role in maintaining core stability. When performed after a plank, this combination provides a comprehensive core workout, strengthening not only your rectus abdominis but also your obliques.
2. Improved Spinal Mobility:
Russian twists involve a twisting motion that enhances spinal mobility. This increased flexibility is invaluable for improving posture, reducing the risk of back pain, and supporting functional movement as you age.
3. Enhanced Balance and Coordination:
Balancing on your sit bones while twisting your torso during Russian twists challenges your coordination and balance. These skills are essential as you get older, helping to prevent falls and maintain agility.
4. Calorie Burn and Fat Loss:
The dynamic nature of Russian twists elevates your heart rate, leading to increased calorie burn during your workout. When combined with planks, this can contribute to better calorie management and potentially aid in weight management.
5. Core Endurance:
Performing Russian twists after planks develops core endurance. The dynamic nature of twisting engages your core muscles differently, enhancing your stamina and resilience in these muscles.
6. Functional Strength:
Many daily activities involve rotational movements of the torso, such as reaching for items or turning to look behind you. Russian twists mimic these movements, making them functional exercises that can improve your ability to perform daily tasks with ease.
7. Mental Focus:
Coordinating the twisting motion while maintaining balance requires concentration and mental focus. This can have cognitive benefits, as staying mentally engaged in physical activities is linked to improved cognitive function.
8. Better Posture:
Strengthening the oblique muscles through Russian twists can contribute to better posture. Improved posture not only enhances physical appearance but also reduces the risk of musculoskeletal issues.
9. Versatile Workout:
The combination of planks and Russian twists can be easily tailored to your fitness level. You can adjust the duration or add weights to increase or decrease the intensity, making it suitable for both beginners and advanced fitness enthusiasts.

Incorporating Russian twists after a plank exercise in your fitness routine provides a well-rounded core workout with numerous benefits that extend beyond core strength. Whether you're looking to maintain a strong core, improve posture, or enhance functional mobility, this combination is a valuable addition to your fitness regimen, especially as you age. Remember, it's never too late to invest in your health and well-being.

🔥Let me know in the comments if you're arms were shaking after the 4-5 minute mark, that way I'll get an idea when I'm creating the next level for you. ❤

Thank you for walking us through plank - I’ve always been intimidated by these but I finished the 5 mins. Day 1!

[beckydecarlo]

I'm 72 years old and I really enjoy your workouts! This one was great - challenging, but not too difficult. Looking forward to days 2-7. Thank you!!❤

[kirstiekoschnick]

I’ve managed to do this for 7 days and I’m going to keep going! It seems to be perfect in duration for me right now. Thank you for your great workouts for us fabulous 50 something’s ❤

[lornawaitt]

Thank you. Just the right level, although challenging. But have a sense of achievement now. Great way to start the day physically and mentally. Positive, positive, positive ❤❤❤thank you Schellea. I can always rely on you to get me up and running again. 😊

[janebutler]

Love that it's only 5 minutes. Love the help on form. Love the dog 😊.
Perfect for me as a beginner. Muscles I didnt know I had are hurting during the day, so something is happening.

[nilgunismail]

Dear, I do not love planks🙈I did it. My arms are shaking.... I feel great! I did something that I am not so fan❤❤I love your exrecises & your suport for women over 50s💗💗💗You inspire me and changed my life💖💖Love

[Rositasparks]

I did it! Thank you 🙏 I felt the burn 🔥 my legs were shaking during the Russian twist ❤

[JulietGreen]

This was perfect. I had been doing a minute of plank a day and trying to get it to 2 so the plank bit seems nice and short, though I concentrate on engaging everything. I like this one interspersed with the twist which made my sides sore after day 1. I'm one day behind but haven't missed a day yet. I'll follow with another of your workouts for whole body.

[tammymurphy]

Started over this week. I'm on day 4. Im getting stronger for sure but still challenging! I'm committed this week.

Hi Shelley !! I’m a new subscriber. I really enjoyed this workout. You go super fast, faster than I can move but I just follow along the best I can. I’m almost 55 years young and I’m doing home workouts to try to help myself feel better and get back into shape. 2 months ago I couldn’t even walk 1 block down the street without my hips burning and hurting so bad I had to stop. I told myself I’m way too young not to be able to walk 1 block. So I’ve been doing home workouts ever since. I feel absolutely amazing!! Thank you!! 🙏🙏🙏

[renaet]

I’VE NEVER BEAN ABLE TO DO A PLANK!!! You make everything so much easier!! Thank you ❤

[pamtate]

Love this plank workout. I've always been intimidated by planks but I did it !!!😁❤️

[junebugca]

I did it! 7 days . This was doable and not discouraging. I found the Russian twist harder than the planks. I didn’t rest in between as long mainly because I have to go to work 😂
I will keep going because I noticed a difference in my core movement ….thank you so much for this!

[emanuelabianchi]

I was looking for a short exercise that I could do every day to help me build strength and this is perfect. Now it’s up to me to keep it up. Thank you! ❤

[suef]

Honestly you are the best motivator! I have faithfully worked out with you since January 4th! You are my inspiration. Thank you❤️

[jeanninecollins]

Just finished Day 1 and love the mixture of the plank and Russian twist. The level was perfect.

[elainesouthwell]

Hi from the UK. I love doing the plank I'm up to 30 seconds, I find the transition to Russian Twist quite difficult so i have incorporated childs pose into cobraf from your posture video, which I've always enjoyed. I'm 70 next month, but keep fit walking the rainy fells here in Cumbria and your videos. I prefer your shorter routines 5-10 minutes which I can fit easily into my day, keep up the good work xx

[emmy]

Definitely a good workout… and I’m way over 50… 😊 I did this 3 times this week and definitely see a difference in my core… feels stronger each day.

[paulataylor]

I enjoyed every second of it. as it helped me to get back into my normal exercise routine. Thank you
