Work Those Obliques!


So you're doing good with those arms and legs workouts, right? Cool! So you should have very shapely arms and legs for the summer! But what about that midsection that we all know and have very little love for? You may be doing crunches to help your abs out a bit, heck, you may even be doing reverse crunches to work the lower abs! But what about those extra tires that hang on to your sides for dear life? Here's a great resistance band workout, just for those obliques!

Sit on the floor with your legs straight out in front of you, and sitting up straight with your shoulders back. Place your resistance band around the bottoms of your feet, wrapping the resistance band around each of your hands. Make sure that the resistance band is taught so that there is effort in working with the band during the exercise. In the starting position, you should be sitting up straight, legs straight, and your arms only slightly bent at the elbow.

Starting with your right side, pull the resistance band back, bending your arm, and twisting your body in a rowing motion. Once you return to the starting position, move to the left side. Start by doing this for at least two minutes, alternating sides during the workout.

I assure you, after a week of doing these at least five times a week, for at least 6 minutes each time, you will start to see and feel a difference. You will be working the obliques of your body, perhaps muscles that you have never worked before. When all is said and done, your body will be sexy in all the right ways!

GOOD LUCK!!
