Resistance TwistsThis is a great exercise. All it requires is a mat to sit on and a resistance band (which costs peanuts!) There are machines in the gym that do exactly this, except for them you would probably have to mortgage your house!
|
The Killer TwistsThese make you feel like jello! They're great for your obliques and will really help you tone up. The great news is, they work your thighs and butt too! Killer Twists can be a little tough to explain. Hopefully we've managed though. Look at the pictures and read it carefully.
|
Knee KicksThis is a killer! It's good for your self defense skills too. Tom does a martial art called Kempo. That's where he picked this one up.
|
Medicine Ball Mini TwistsThese oblique exercises are quite nice and relaxing. They don't overly work any area, but are good for toning your obliques. Come on, who doesn't want an easy exercise which tones?
|
Sideways Sit-UpsOuch! These are really good oblique exercises. It's sometimes quite difficult to target the oblique's but this exercise does it perfectly. It's really nice working with the swiss ball because it takes a lot of pressure off your joints. Another great thing is that swiss balls have become so cheap lately.
|
Dumbbell Side DipsAnother great one for targeting your oblique's! Wow, now there's definitely no excuse to be carrying that 'muffin effect' which hangs over you pants. Are you excited about getting sexy!?
