This month on Trainer Tip Tuesday we will be discussing considerations when you are doing seated trunk twists. Seated trunk twists, also called Russian twists, are a very popular exercise, especially when trying to strengthen, tone, and build your core muscles. However, there are a number of things you need to keep in mind to make sure this exercise is done safely and effectively for your body.
Seated trunk twists are one of the most common home and gym exercises. Their convenience makes them an easy choice for most exercisers to do wherever they are working out. However, even though this exercise is popular, there are some things you need to keep in mind while you do them in order to keep your low back safe and make sure your muscles are as involved as possible.
One thing you need to consider is what options are available to you if you are unable to sit on the floor when doing this exercise. While the solution may seem straightforward, the fact is that many errors are often made when trying to change how this exercise is done that ultimately put people at risk for injuring themselves.
Check out all of the details in this week’s episode of Trainer Tip Tuesday, and be sure to tune back in next week as we discuss considerations when doing the seated twist exercise.
