Russian Twist
Russian Twist is a bodyweight core exercise that trains the obliques through a trunk-rotation motion. It requires no equipment and is easy to scale by changing posture or foot position. Sit and lean back slightly, brace the core, then rotate side to side with control. This can help tighten the midsection and improve core stability.
