How to do Medicine Ball Russian Twist
Setup
Sit on the floor with knees bent and heels lightly touching the ground, holding a medicine ball at your chest with both hands. Lean your torso back to roughly 45 degrees and brace your core.
How to do it
- Rotate your torso to lower the ball toward the floor beside one hip
- Immediately reverse direction toward the other side in one smooth motion
- Keep your chest tall and spine long — rotate the ribs, not just the arms
- Exhale on each rotation and keep the movement controlled
Watch out for
- Moving only the arms side to side without actually rotating the torso
- Rounding the lower back or collapsing the chest as fatigue sets in
