Mason Twists

Mason twists are great core exercise because they work your obliques and center abdominal muscles. Start out sitting on your workout surface with your knees bent so that your feet are flat on the ground. Lean your upper body back so that it is about 50 to 60 degrees from the ground. You don't want your lower back to be straight for this. Instead slouch a bit so that there is a C curve in your spine. Clasp your hands together in front of you like your making a two hand fist. Lift you feet off the ground so that the only body part on the ground is your butt. With your hands clasp, begin twisting your arms and torso from side to side. On each twist hit your knuckles to the ground beside you obliques. If you can not quite reach the ground with your two hand fist just get as close as possible. The Mason Twist is an exercise where you will definitely feel your obliques and abdominal muscles burn. If you do not feel the burn re-check your form.
