10 Exercises That Can Strengthen Your Core And Support Better Posture

8. Russian Twists

Russian twists can help work the sides of the core, but they need careful form. Sit on the floor with your knees bent and lean back slightly while keeping your back long. Turn your upper body gently from side to side. Keep the movement small at first, especially if you are new to this exercise.

Do not force the twist or move too quickly. You can keep your feet on the floor for better support. Avoid adding weight until you can do the movement comfortably with control. If twisting bothers your back, skip this exercise and choose a safer option like side plank.
