Swiss Ball Exercise Russian Twists

Swiss ball Exercises are a fantastic way to improve core strength while you’re doing what you would normally do anyway. By using dumbbells as free weights, and choosing the Swiss ball instead of a bench or chair, you activate more muscles as you exercise. Activating more muscle burns more fat while having a stronger core improves posture and makes you look better. Always use a Swiss ball when you’re doing your dumbbell exercises.

Swiss Ball Exercise Russian Twists

This is a rotational exercise that involves core stability and puts emphasis on the obliques. Your obliques are the muscles on the outsides of your abdominal wall. They allow you to twist and turn. The exercise shown and described below may seem simple at first, but once you get on the ball and begin, you might have another thought about it.

Begin with no weight at all until you become efficient at the movement, then slowly begin to add weight. You may use a small plate or even a single dumbbell for this exercise. Remember, begin first, then increase the resistance with weight.
