Torso Twist - Male

Instructions

  • Lie on your back and bring your hips and knees to a 90-degress angle (imagine sitting in a chair with your knees bent as you lie on the floor). 
  • With your arms out to the side to help you stabilize yourself, begin slowly lowering your knees to one side while maintaining the 90-degree angle. 
  • Continue lowering your knees until your thigh lightly touches the ground or your shoulder blade begins to come off the floor. 
  • Raise your legs back up to the starting position and repeat the movement on the opposite side. 
  • Complete the appropriate number for each side.

    Tip

    Stay in control of the motion - making your abdominal and oblique muscles do all the work. Focus on keeping your shoulder blades on the floor at all times as your torso and hips rotate side to side.

    DISCLAIMER: Your doctor is often in the best position to evaluate whether any particular diet or exercise program is best for you. Advance consultation with your doctor is particularly important if you are under eighteen (18) years old, pregnant, nursing, or have health problems.
