This workout is all about targeting the obliques along with the core! 12 minutes on a mat, 40 seconds of each movement with 5 seconds to move to next and finishing with a 3 minute plank! One round bring you to the 12 minutes.

The obliques (internal and external) are the muscles that run down the sides of your abdominals, and are responsible for spinal and lateral flexion, rotation of torso but they also assist in holding in your stomach!

There are so many ways to target your obliques such as core movements, single arm or leg work, balancing... this workout will use movements to activate, lengthen and strengthen the obliques.

The exercises are as follows:

SIDE PLANK LIFT & LOWER

KNEE TUCK TWIST TO LEG ABDUCTION

PLANK 3 mins

With every workout, please amend this to your own ability. Simply press pause, drop to knees or perform on knees if possible.

When targeted workouts, try to really focus your mind on the muscles you are trying to work!

I hope you enjoy this core and oblique workout!
