Weighted Abdominal Twists

1. Stand with your feet hip width apart.
2. With your elbows at a 90 degree angle, hold a weight in front of you.
3. Using your core, twist from side to side, squeezing your obliques as you hit each side.
- Don't hunch forward or lean back.
- Control the movement. It is not about speed, but engaging the correct muscles to move from side to side.
- Keep your chest facing the weight at all times. If your chest is square with the weight, you will be forced to use your core and not your arms. We do not want our arms to be doing any of the movement.
