Unlock Your Core Strength: Mastering the Twisting Exercise for Abdominal Power

Twisting movements improve mobility in the spine, as well as strengthen the muscles along the side of the abdomen.

Start the motion at the shoulders and turn the chest to the side while keeping the rest of the body facing forward.

Begin in a seated position with knees bent and the feet flat on the floor.

Turn the shoulders to the right and reach the left hand across the body, punching to the right.

Twist back to the center.

Repeat on the opposite side by turning the shoulders to the left and reaching the right hand across the body, punching to the left.

Twist back to the center.

Complete one set of 10 repetitions per side.
