MB Oblique Twist

A good exercise for developing strength in your core and oblique muscles, however not suitable for persons with lower back problems or beginners.

Position yourself on a suitable sized Swiss Ball, in a normal sit-up position, keeping both feet flat on the floor, with your thighs and upper body horizontal to the ground.

Begin the movement with both arms extended straight out holding a suitable sized Medicine Ball.

As you lift yourself up, bring the Medicine Ball over your head, lowering it all the way down towards the hip of one leg.

Reverse the movement again so that you get back to the starting position and repeat, however this time take the ball to your other side.

Focus on keeping the movement slow and controlled, feeling the muscles being worked in your final rotating phase, avoiding any jerking movements to try and force your body around.

All levels should aim to work for 2 - 3 sets with a suitable sized Medicine Ball for a comfortable amount of reps.
