How to do it
Keep your gaze fixed on the weight as it moves side to side.
- 1
Sit on the floor with your knees bent, feet lifted, and hold a weight with both hands in front of your chest.
- 2
Lean back slightly to engage your abs.
- 3
Twist your torso to the right, bringing the weight beside your right hip.
- 4
Return to the center and then twist to the left.
- 5
Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions.
Expert tip
Keep the movement controlled and avoid using momentum to twist. Focus on using your abs to rotate your torso.
