1. Start by lying flat on your back on a mat with your legs extended upwards so that they are perpendicular to the floor.
2. Hold the barbell with an overhand grip directly above your chest, arms fully extended.
3. While keeping your legs straight and together, lower them to one side of your body without touching the floor.
4. As you twist your legs to the side, perform a chest press by bending your elbows and lowering the barbell towards your chest, then press it back up to the starting position.
5. Bring your legs back to the starting position, perpendicular to the floor.
6. Lower your legs to the opposite side and perform another chest press.
7. Repeat the sequence for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring that you engage your core to maintain stability and control throughout the movement.
Safety and Tips:
- Use a weight that allows you to perform the exercise with proper form.
- Move in a controlled manner to maximize core engagement and prevent momentum from taking over.
- Keep your lower back pressed into the floor to avoid strain.
- Make sure the room has enough space for you to perform leg twists without obstruction.
- Having a spotter is recommended when using heavier weights to ensure safety.
