I need this man following me around, praising me every time I do something right. I don’t just mean exercises. Anything I do something of merit, like sit at my computer and sort through emails, “I want to hear ‘Perfect!’ and ‘Brilliant!’ from him! The positive power of praise embodied in his enthisiasm! 🙌💞

VIDEO SUMMED UP Straight back Belly button forward Don’t move lower back Only move arms as long as your belly button doesn’t move across Legs still afloat
Good information without BS is becoming a rare thing on the net. Thanks for this.
By far the most simplified video for beginners . I do Russian twists with weights , but hands go down with when on the sides . Will keep this form in mind next time . Thanks !

Very clear demonstration, excellent detail, the opposite of one I just watched which was focussed on the burn rather than on doing it effectively ; ) Thank you, Gentlemen.

What a great video. I've been doing the Russian Twist all wrong! Thank you for your thorough instruction on how to do it correctly. I definitely feel it in my core with the correct form.
Thanks so much for this - I really needed this detailed instruction. Hugely appreciated!
Been doing this for a couple weeks and barely noticed any improvement... watched the video and i might aswell been doing nothing, so many mistakes. Tried how you explain while watching and the fire was on! Thanks for the clear explanation!!
I think it is a great explanation to how perform this exercise and it will be very useful to me on the next training session although I noticed that my legs are much longer than my body ( from ABS to neck ) and always that I perform this exercise( within others ) my legs pull me down to the floor and I did not find the way yet to keep my balance on. Thank you very much for this video, I think is great! ;-)
Great instructions! Thanks!
Very informative. Thankyou
Thanks for the video. The reminder to keep the belly button pointing forward is really useful!

I like your video. Very informative . I have a question. During the demonstration, I noticed Will's head follows his hands to the side. I see some You Tube videos on the Russian Twist the head stays still while looking in the front. Can you please clarify that for me ? Thanks.

Hi Harold - thanks for the great feedback! That's an excellent question. The answer is that both techniques can be considered good form - so you can try both out and see which one you prefer. Let us know how you get on?

Hi 354, there are two options you can try: 1) Try much smaller turns and then gradually increase the range of movement as you get stronger. 2) You can try anchoring your feet (such as on the bottom of a sofa or bed) and as you get stronger slowly release your legs. Hope that helps and let us know how you get on!

Hi JRARK, no you shouldn't be getting any pain with this exercise. Do you get it with all the progressions or just the more advanced ones?
"plumb line" is a misleading term. By nature, its function is to be straight vertical. What you are describing should be called "string line", as his back is not vertical (plumb).

Hi Triija - ff you are finding this then what you can try is anchoring your feet (to something like the base of a sofa or bed) whilst doing the exercise. Let us know if this helps!
It seems that making it so your belly button moves is not exactly a conscious thing. See for me it seems my belly button always moves just a bit it’s sort of like as you move your torso the belly button moves along with it and there’s nothing you can do about that. I have been able to make only my shoulders move and my belly button moves just a tiny bit, but there is no way to keep my belly button completely in the middle unless I Keep my torso completely still

Hi Tempe - you are correct the belly button will move as you go side to side. However by focusing on trying to keep it pointing forwards (even though it will move), you will get much more core activation. So it sounds like you are doing it spot on!

What I do not understand of this video is this obsession about a straight back. The function of the rectus abdominis is to bring the ribcage towards the pelvis and viceversa. Why does necessarily have to be straight? What if you got "tight hamstrings"? You would focus the whole time on the back when your goals is the abdomen instead.
