Weighted Seated Twist (On Stability Ball)
The ball seated twist holding a plate at the chest; the weight asks more of the obliques and of the legs that keep the ball still.
How to do it
Setup
Seated tall on a stability ball, feet wide, a plate held at the chest in both hands.
Steps
- Turn the plate and chest together to one side.
- Hold the plate close; the knees keep facing forward.
- Pass back through the middle to the other side.
Common mistakes
Plate drifting away from the chest: hold it close; the lever grows fast. Ball rolling as you turn: wider feet, slower turns. Rounding over the plate: chest tall.
Breathing
Exhale on each twist, inhale through the middle.
