The Top 5 Oblique Exercises To Get Ripped Up Abs, V2
Exercise 2 - Stability Ball Oblique Twists
Lie on a swiss ball with your shoulder blades firmly on the apex. Walk your feet out until they form a 90º angle with the floor, so that your body forms a bridge. This is your starting position.
Hold a light dumbbell or medicine ball and press it directly over your chest. Without lifting your feet off the floor or bending your arms, slowly twist your shoulders and torso to the left until they’re roughly parallel to the ground (or as far as you can go without falling over or lifting your feet). Powerfully torque your core, bring the ball back up to center, and complete the same motion for the right side.
Repeat for 10+ reps per side. Gradually increase the weight used as your core gets stronger.
