Medicine Ball Russian Twist

BeginnerMedicine ball

A loaded Russian twist that adds a medicine ball for resistance. Even a light ball makes your core work harder to both drive and control the rotation, so it's a good way to progress the standard bodyweight twist.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Sit on the floor holding a medicine ball in both hands in front of your chest.

  2. 2

    Lean back slightly and lift your heels a few inches off the ground.

  3. 3

    Brace your core to stay stable throughout.

  4. 4

    Twist slowly to one side, bringing the ball toward your hip.

  5. 5

    Rotate back through center, then twist to the other side, alternating.

  6. 6

    Keep your chest up and let your core do the work, not your arms.
