How to perform it

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a barbell in front of your chest with both hands, palms facing down. Engage your core and keep your back straight throughout the exercise. Slowly twist your torso to the right, pivoting on your feet and hips, while keeping your lower body stable. Pause for a moment at the end of the twist, then slowly return to the starting position. Repeat the twist to the left side. Continue alternating twists for the desired number of repetitions.
