The Band Seated Twist exercise is a core exercise that targets the obliques, lower back, and abdominal muscles. It is done with the help of a resistance band to increase the difficulty and effectiveness of the workout.
How to perform
To perform the Band Seated Twist exercise, follow these steps:1. Start by sitting on the floor with your legs extended straight out in front of you.
2. Wrap a resistance band around the soles of your feet and hold on to the ends of the band with both hands.
3. Engage your core and keep your back straight as you twist your upper body to the right, pulling the band with you.
4. Hold the twist for a moment to feel the stretch in your obliques, then slowly return to the starting position.
5. Repeat the twist on the other side, twisting to the left this time.
6. Continue twisting from side to side for a set number of repetitions or a certain amount of time.
Remember to keep your movements controlled and deliberate to fully engage your core muscles and avoid straining your back. Start with a light resistance band and gradually increase the tension as you build strength and endurance.
Equipment required
Band
Band equipment consists of elastic bands or tubes that provide resistance during exercises. They are commonly used to strengthen and tone muscles, improve flexibility, and increase range of motion. Bands are versatile and can be used for a variety of exercises targeting different muscle groups, making them suitable for strength training, rehabilitation, and physical therapy. The resistance levels can be adjusted based on the tension of the band, allowing for progressive overload and customization for individual fitness levels.
