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 that is rarely discussed is what you are thinking about when doing this exercise. Your focus during this exercise plays a huge role in the response your body has to doing it, so you need to make sure your thoughts are controlled and strategic.
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.
