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! 🙌💞
This is why ppl should hire trainer
Sounds like a narcissist to me
@@imjonathan6745 LMAO IDK WHY I FOUND THAT SO FUNNY
You shouldn’t need another’s human validation to know your self worth….
@@imjonathan6745 Sounds like a sense of humor deprived to me
Good information without BS is becoming a rare thing on the net. Thanks for this.
I always love how in depth you go with each and every exercise, so I know what I should be feeling and what's needed for correct form
Thanks so much for the great feedback W. Hill!
I used to do it in a wrong way for which my body even after working out regularly for 2 months had no change
Thnx to this I'm gonna do it in a right way now
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.
Thanks for the amazing feedback Prof!
You two are a great duo. Thanks...
Thanks so much Furkan!
This was like taking a breath of fresh air after spending a day in Manhattan- like this was super clear and informative and everything makes so mucch sense, thank you!
Thanks so much for the great feedback :)
Great video, really useful to make sure we’ve got the right form!
Thanks for the video. The reminder to keep the belly button pointing forward is really useful!
2anne C thanks for the great feedback 😄
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!!
This is at least the 3rd video I've viewed re how to do the Russian twist. This by far is the best I've seen. Great work. Thank you for posting this video. Wishing you all the best of success. P.S. you have a new subscriber.
Thanks for the amazing feedback Colin - and really pleased to have you as a subscriber 😁
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! ;-)
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
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.
I teach a teenage excercise class and will definitely introduce Russian twist... the kids will love it😂😂
Amazing to hear rachelmm05 - how did the exercise go in the class?
@@GetExerciseConfident we did the level 1 and overall it went good. Our abs were really sore afterwards 🙂
rachelmm05 amazing! Keep up the great work 💪
Thanks so much for this - I really needed this detailed instruction. Hugely appreciated!
I guess I’ve been doing these wrong this entire time, thanks for the tutorial man!
Awesome instruction! Form is everything. I am just now finding you! Wow! Thanks! I workout from home since the pandemic and I always worry about my form being correct.
Thanks for the amazing feedback Mimi! Keep us updated with your progress 💪
Shawn Mendes is teaching us
Very useful and informative video. This video deserves at least 1 M views ❤️
धन्यवाद from 🇮🇳 🙏🏼
Thanks so much O! Mantra 😊
Thank you sir. You could narrate books or something too
Very informative. Thankyou
Thank you so much, made SO many mistakes in the past doing these twists
Thanks for the great feedback Kelly and so pleased to hear it has helped!
Thanks! My mistake is where my legs move while doing russian twists, so this helps a ton
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?
also your voice is so calming and pretty !
Thanks Moon spade 😅

Vijay Kumar so pleased to hear the great feedback! We filmed 7 new videos last month and they are currently going through the editing process. First one should be out in the next couple of weeks, so keep a look out!
@@GetExerciseConfident sure, i am looking forward for them.
@@simmys1959 we have just released our latest video! We'd love to hear what you think: th-cam.com/video/e5Gyc1D_BxM/w-d-xo.html
I wish our American training videos would feature normal guys like this instead of the usual naked steroid junkies. And the explanations here are a thousand times better, covering all the possible errors!
Thanks for the great feedback MacKenzie!
Never skip leg day boys.
Thanks 🌹

Thanks..This was helpful
So pleased to hear Vicky NT!
I having tail bone pain, while doing these russian twists and other core exercises. Is there any solution to kt?
Hi Niha, what type of surface are you doing the exercise on?
I’m having trouble with stabilizing my legs to become nice and still and more advice to help with it???
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!
Today i learnt the Russian twist after doing it for 3 months.
what the hecc, oh my gosh my gym class didnt teach any form, we werent taught any of these tips, thank you for correct form tips! I though you werent meant to cross your ankles, and you were supposed to touch the ground?
the leg up thing makes is so painful omg
@2:56 what to do when you can lift your legs at the same time?

Shouldnt we , like , raise our foot a lil bit from the ground ?
Perfect. 🔥🔥
THANKYOU😊🙏
Is it ok to touch legs on the floor and do russian twist???
Hi Arjun - yes you can keep your feet on the floor. Then as you get stronger you can try lifting them back up again. Let us know how you get on!
@@GetExerciseConfident Thank you for that advice, sir🤩😊😊
"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).
So you move your arms and.not your torso?
Awesome video love that English accent
Thanks Chen Tom!
Is back pain normal after this exercise?
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?
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.
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!
@@GetExerciseConfident thanks for your info! Sounds like you’re really knowledgeable!
feel like im doing something wrong my legs hurt more than my abs for the modt part
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!
Proper 👌
I find it hard to do it properly with the feet up
I need to hire you
Why do I feel my twist on my legs?
"Brilliant"
Will doesn't wanna do it doctor..look at his face 😁
Shawn mendes from stitches

Hi Norjanna - we’ve made a video to answer that exact question: Do Crunches Burn Fat And Give You Abs | Doctor Reveals Science & Myths Behind The Six Pack

I’m sure every Ukrainian will do Russian twists however they want
When I have to inhale or exhale
Try the following:
- breathe IN as you go out
- breathe OUT as you come back to the centre
