Medicine ball twist

The medicine ball twist is an exercise targeting the abdominal muscles, particularly the obliques. It is similar in many ways to a Russian twist exercise. The ball is held tight to the chest throughout the movement, and then the torso is rotated from side to side for the desired number of reps or a set amount of time.

Benefits

  1. Works the obliques dynamically and the rectus abdominis isometrically
  2. Squeezing the ball co-contracts the chest, potentially making the core work harder
  3. Pairs well with other movements in a core circuit
