Sit-up Twist
The focus of this exercise will be on the External Obliques.
The External Obliques, when stretched over the Ab Mat, assist the Rectus
Abdominus when doing the basic sit-up. To focus more directly on the External
Obliques you simply allow them to pull in a straight line. The effect of the EO
pulling in a straight line will twist the body. Figures 1,2,3,4 demonstrate
this.
If you simple want an exercise to isolate the External Obliques follow figure 1
and 2, then lie back down to the starting position.
