Seated Barbell Twist (On Floor) Instructions

  1. Sit on the floor with your legs extended straight out in front of you.
  2. Hold a barbell across the back of your shoulders (not your neck), gripping it just outside shoulder-width.
  3. Keep your chest tall and back straight, and engage your core for stability.
  4. Slowly rotate your torso to one side, keeping your hips and legs still.
  5. Pause briefly at the end of the twist, feeling the contraction in your obliques.
  6. Return to center, then rotate to the alternate side.
  7. Continue alternating sides for the desired number of reps.
