The 12 Best Oblique Exercises For a Stronger Core

This move is similar to a side plank with hip dips, but keeping your knees bent makes it more beginner-friendly — while still working your obliques and deep core.

• Start by lying on your left side with your weight on your elbow. Your knees are bent, and feet stacked with the right on top. Inhale to prepare.
• Exhale, pull your abs to your spine, and lift your hips off the floor. Pull your shoulder blade down your back so your shoulder stays away from your ear.
• Hold for three seconds. Lower your pelvis back to the floor slowly and with control to complete one rep.
• After finishing a set on one side, repeat on the opposite side.
