Dumbbell Straight Leg Russian Twist

Expert Advice

Keep your legs straight and elevated to engage your lower abs, and rotate your torso fully to work your obliques. Control the movement to prevent using momentum.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Sit on the floor with your legs extended in front of you and hold a dumbbell with both hands.
  2. Lean back slightly and lift your legs off the floor, balancing on your sit bones.
  3. Twist your torso to one side, bringing the dumbbell towards the floor beside you.
  4. Rotate to the opposite side, moving the dumbbell in a controlled manner.
  5. Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions.
