    Default Oblique Exercises.

    I came along a new exercise for exercising the obliques.

    Sit on a ball.
    Using one arm first hold a dumbell aloft.
    Keep the arm vertical with the plam facing front.
    Using the side of the body (Obliques etc.) trun the body downward to bring the weight toward the knee.
    Raise the weight vertical again.

    This is best done over a time period (30 secs - 1 minute.)

    Hanging Side Bends
    For those who are looking for a little variation from the typical sidebends, this can be a humbling exercise.

    Starting Position: Grab onto a pull-up bar with a grip a little wider than your shoulder width. Both of your legs are extended straight towards the floor.

    Movement: Using your oblique muscles, raise your legs to your side as far as you can lift them (your legs should remain straight). Then lower them towards the floor without swinging them. Repeat the movement until you finish your set. Then switch sides.

    Helpful Tips:
    • Concentrate on just using your abs. Don't recruit your other muscles to help you out.
    • If possible, hold the contraction at the top of the movement for a count of two.
    • Control your legs on the way down (no swinging).
    • Don't rest your legs at the bottom of the movement. Keep constant tension in your abdominals.
    • If your hand grip is not strong enough to hold you up for the duration of the exercise, use straps.
    If you hear a voice within you saying that I am not a painter, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.
