Instructions
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent.
2. Hold a weight plate with both hands in front of your abdomen with your arms slightly bent.
3. Keeping your hips and legs stationary, exhale and rotate your torso to the right, engaging your core, especially your obliques.
4. Inhale as you return to the center position.
5. Then, exhale and rotate your torso to the left side.
6. Continue to alternate sides for the desired number of repetitions.
7. Keep your movements controlled and avoid any jerky motions.
8. Ensure that your back is straight and your abdominals are engaged throughout the exercise to protect your spine.
Make sure to choose a weight that allows you to perform the exercise with proper form and control. Avoid using momentum to twist the torso; the movement should come from the core muscles.
