- This exercise involves the oblique muscles of the press and also works very well during the drying of the abs. If you are not an experienced athlete, we do not recommend performing this exercise due to technical difficulties.
- Russian twist can be performed with any weighting, the main thing is that it is not too heavy so as not to disrupt the execution technique.
- The oblique muscles of the abdomen and upper abs are actively involved in the exercise.
- The load is significantly increased due to the fact that you have to transfer the weight from one side to the other side.
