The lying Russian twists are an excellent exercise that builds your core and abs while chiseling that coveted "V" of the lower abs.
MEDIA
INSTRUCTIONS
Prep
Lay down on a soft mat or flooring.
Start
Bend the knees and lift your upper body until you create a perpendicular with your thighs and torso.
Movement
Twist your torso left to right to left while holding for a moment on each side.
End
Once completing your set, re-rack the weights as needed or wipe down the equipment used.
TIPS
Having something to lock your feet will help you stabilize the movement.
You can perform this movement standing up as well or on a decline bench. This will be easier than lying unsupported on the floor.
For progressive overloading and lifting heavier, you can grab a barbell plate or weighted ball in your hands while twisting.
