My biggest tip is to keep your eyes trained on the Dumbbell as you begin the twist to one side.  Tense your core and move only from the Core and Abs areas.  Place the dumbbell upright on the floor out to one side and level with your hips.  So you have almost turned through 90°.

This is the easiest form of Russian Twists.  To make it harder, you must lift your heels off the floor and keep your legs suspended a few cm above the ground.  Always keep your knees bent.

Pause for a split second before returning the dumbbell to the centre point and keep going all the way to the other side, following the Dumbbell with your eyes all the time.  So your head should move in line with your torso, minimizing any neck movement.

Another excellent exercise that should not be skipped.
