Russian Twist

Description

1. Hold a dumbbell, barbell weight or something else that is heavy with both hands, but make sure it is not too heavy and you are able to keep in form.
2. Lean back to a 45-degree angle from the floor. For an extra challenge, lift your feet off the floor.
3. Rotate your arms to one side to the same level as your chest, touch the floor for a little extra challenge, and then do the same to the other side. When you're back in your original position after doing both sides it will count as 1 rep.
