How do you perform Bent Leg Twist?
Bent Leg Twist is a great exercise for your oblique muscles and core stability.
- Lie on your back.
- Stretch your arms out to the sides on the floor, palms facing down.
- Bend your knees and hips to form a 90-degree angle.
- Slowly rotate your legs to the left, keeping your shoulders flat on the floor.
- Go as far as is comfortable without straining your back.
- Bring your legs back to the center in a controlled motion.
- Repeat on the right side.
Common faults
- Dropping your legs or moving too quickly instead of rotating in a controlled manner.
- Rotating too far, causing your shoulders to lift off the floor.
- Holding your breath during the exercise — keep breathing calmly.
- Not keeping your knees together, which reduces abdominal activation.
- Not engaging your abdominal muscles enough, causing strain on your lower back.
