Use a Weight and Twist for Abdominal Muscles

For your rectus abdominus and oblique muscles: Use a 45-lb weight. Grasp it with each hand at opposite sides. Twist to the right and perform a situp.When you come up to starting position, move the weight to the front of your chest. Now twist to the left and go down for a situp. Perform four sets of ten repetitions. Use a weight that gives a good workout and is doable for you.
