Stability Ball Russian Twist is a variation on the standard Russian Twist. Similar to other Russian Twists, this is a bodyweight core exercise that targets your obliques. By sitting on a stability ball, you add instability to the movement, which forces your core to work harder to maintain balance. This is a great way to increase the difficulty and effectiveness of the exercise.

1. Position your hips and lower back on a stability ball. Place both feet flat on the floor roughly shoulder-width apart.
2. Engage your core and twist slowly to one side while keeping both arms in front of you.
3. Reverse the twist to return to slowly the starting position.
4. Maintain good body posture by keeping your back straight, chest up and shoulders back throughout the movement.
5. You should feel this exercise primarily in your abdominals and obliques.
