How to do it
Exhale on each rotation to brace your core deeper.
- 1
Sit on the floor with your knees bent and feet lifted, leaning back slightly to engage your abs.
- 2
Hold a bottle weight with both hands in front of your chest.
- 3
Twist your torso to one side, bringing the weight towards the floor beside you.
- 4
Rotate to the opposite side, moving the weight across your body.
- 5
Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions.
Expert tip
Keep your feet elevated off the ground to increase the challenge, but if you feel any lower back pain, place your feet on the floor for support.
Common mistakes
- ✕Rounding the lower back during each rotation
