1. Sit on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat. Hold a weighted ball with both hands, keeping it opposite to your chest with straight arms.
2. Lean back slightly, keeping your back straight.
3. Rotate your torso to the right, bringing the weighted ball towards the floor beside your hip.
4. Rotate your torso to the left, moving the weighted ball towards the floor beside your left hip. Repeat the twisting motion for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

• Engage your core throughout the movement to maintain balance and stability.
• Ensure your movements are smooth and controlled to maximize core engagement.
• Focus on twisting from your torso, not just moving your arms side to side.
