Russian twists are a type of abdominal exercise that targets the core muscles, including the obliques, rectus abdominis, and transverse abdominis. They are performed by sitting on the floor with the knees bent and the feet elevated off the ground. The hands are clasped together behind the head and the torso is twisted from side to side.
Russian twists are an effective way to strengthen the core muscles, which can help to improve posture, balance, and stability. They can also help to reduce the risk of lower back pain. In addition, Russian twists can help to improve athletic performance by increasing rotational power and speed.
