Sitting Russian Twist on a Chair
The Russian twist on a chair: lean back a little from the front of the seat and turn the shoulders side to side.
How to do it
Setup
On the front edge of the seat, feet flat, torso leaned back short of the backrest, hands together in front.
Steps
- Turn the shoulders to one side, the hands traveling with them.
- Hold the lean; the back never touches the chair.
- Rotate through the middle to the other side.
Common mistakes
Resting on the backrest: the lean is the work; stay off it. Only the hands moving: the chest turns with them. Slumping as the lean tires you: sit taller or lean back less.
Breathing
Exhale on each twist, inhale through the middle.
