Description of exercise The elastic seated trunk twist exercise is a core strengthening exercise that targets the abdominal muscles, obliques, and lower back. It involves sitting on the floor with your legs extended and holding an elastic band in front of you. As you twist your torso to one side, you pull the band towards your chest, engaging your core muscles. Then, you twist to the other side and repeat the movement. This exercise helps improve spinal mobility, balance, and coordination. It can also help alleviate back pain and improve posture. The use of the elastic band adds resistance, making the exercise more challenging and effective in building core strength.
