8 oblique exercises for strong abs and a slimmer waist

1 BICYCLE CRUNCHES

When you perform bicycle crunches, you use both your abdominal muscles and your obliques at the same time. Additionally, you keep your body moving continuously, which makes your heart rate go up and burns even more calories.

2 DUMBBELL SIDE BEND

When you incorporate dumbbell side bends into your training program, you are able to target and shape both the external and internal obliques.

3 HEEL TOUCHERS

In addition to helping you achieve the ideal hourglass form, the heel touchers not only help you cinch your waist but also tighten the entire side wall of your abdominal muscles.

4 OBLIQUE V CRUNCH

Through the use of this movement, the abdominal wall and the obliques are fully engaged, the core is tightened, the back is strengthened, and the range of motion and flexibility are improved.

5 RUSSIAN TWIST

By engaging your core and strengthening your abdominal muscles as well as your lower back, the Russian twist serves to strengthen your core. Additionally, it assists in the improvement of your posture, balance, and stability.

6 PLANK HIP DIPS

This modified form of the elbow plank, which incorporates an additional hip rotation, further stimulates your core and strengthens your abdominal muscles, obliques, and lower back to an even higher degree.

7 TRIANGLE CRUNCH
