Exercise technique videos, like the Russian Twist below, are one key feature of ACSM’s Foundations of Strength Training and Conditioning

• Myths and Misconceptions boxes debunk myths and clarify misconceptions
• Exercise boxes provide step-by-step instructions and photos to guide you through proper positioning and movement
