Twist Sit-up

Expert Advice

Ensure you twist from your torso and not just your shoulders to fully engage the oblique muscles.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.
  2. Place your hands behind your head without interlocking your fingers.
  3. Lift your upper body off the ground, twisting to bring your right elbow towards your left knee.
  4. Lower back down and repeat on the opposite side, bringing your left elbow towards your right knee.
  5. Alternate sides for the desired number of repetitions.
