If you’re looking for an oblique workout to get you that “v-cut”, how about one that will only take 4 minutes!
When it comes to ab workouts, it’s difficult to know which exercises are best for you.
Some make you feel the burn in your lower back or even in your legs and are almost pointless.
So when it comes to targeting your obliques, you must make sure your exercises target them and help you feel the “burn” as much as possible.
What you may find is that when you find a good oblique workout, it actually doesn’t have to be long. Since you’re going to be putting more tension on the muscle with the correct exercises, you length of time you spend doing it is much shorter.
So here’s a short and effect oblique workout for you to try out!
4 Minute Oblique Workout
The workout will only be two exercises. You will perform each exercise to each side for 45 seconds and then rest for 15 seconds.
This workout will only be one full round, so it will be quick but it will leave your abs feeling great!
The Exercises:
Side Plank Raises (Right)
For these, you will get into a side plank position. From there, you will dip your hips down as far as you can, feeling a stretch in your oblique. Then take your hips and drive them up to the sky, squeezing with your obliques. Repeat as many times as possible for 45 seconds.
Side Plank Raises (Left)
For these, you will get into a side plank position again. From there, you will do the same as you did for the right side but simply turned to the other side. You want to dip your hips down as far as you can, feeling a stretch in your oblique. Then take your hips and drive them up to the sky, squeezing with your obliques. Repeat as many times as possible for 45 seconds.
Side Leg Crunches (Right)
For this exercise, you will get into a regular sit-up position, then cross your leg. From here, whichever leg you crossed, you will put your opposite hand behind your head. Then, using your abs to crunch up, you will drive you elbow to your knee and return back down to the floor. Try to never let your shoulders touch the ground. Repeat as many times as possible for 45 seconds.
Side Leg Crunches (Left)
These will be just like the side leg crunches to the right. You will get into a regular sit-up position and cross your leg. From here, again, whichever leg you crossed, you will put your opposite hand behind your head. Then, using your abs to crunch up, you will drive you elbow to your knee and return back down to the floor. Continue to try to never let your shoulders touch the ground. Repeat as many times as possible for 45 seconds.
Rest for 15 seconds in-between each exercise. Once all are completed, you are done! Do this workout 2-3 times per week and pair it with a diet plan for your body type for best results.
