Lying Twist
The Lying Twist (also known as the Lying Leg Twist and the Weighted Lying Twist) gives your obliques a great workout. The twisting motion targets your obliques, which are located at the sides of your waist.
How to perform the Lying Twist
| Technique |
- Lie on your back, with your arms stretched out to your sides, palms facing down.
- Raise legs upward with knees slightly bent. Your legs should be almost at 90 degree angle from your body (i.e. almost straight up in the air, but bent slightly)
- Lower your legs to the left side, so that your left, outer thigh touches the ground.
- Now bring your legs up and lower them down to the right, until your right outer thigh touches the ground.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you've completed the desired number of reps.
