Partner MB Twists

Stand back-to-back with your partner (easier) or spaced no more than a foot apart, keeping a slight bend in your legs whilst contracting the abs lightly.

Aim to pass the ball around both bodies, keeping the ball the same distance from your central line throughout the movement. As you pass the ball at waist height to your right hand side, your partner will grab the ball on their left hand side, rotating around to pass it back to you on your left hand side.

Aim to keep your hips facing forward, utilizing the your core rotational muscles, rather than twisting around from your hips.

The exercise can be made easier or harder dependent upon the weight of the ball used, and also the speed of the movement. Aim for slow rotations feeling and contracting the muscles being used, rather than accelerated momentum to twist around. Change direction every 5 - 10 movements.

Beginners aim for 10 - 15 turns each direction.

Intermediates aim for 20 - 30 turns in each direction.

Advanced work for 20 - 30 turns each direction, with 1 foot raised slightly.
