Russian twists are excellent for engaging the oblique muscles, which are crucial for a tight and lean waist. To do this exercise, sit on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat, lean back slightly, and hold a weight or medicine ball.
This advanced variation of the plank targets the obliques and lower abs. Start in a forearm plank position, then slowly dip your hips to each side, almost touching the floor. Perform 10-12 dips per side to enhance core stability
Bicycle crunches effectively work the upper and lower abs, as well as the obliques. Lie on your back with legs lifted and knees bent, extend one leg while bringing the opposite elbow towards the knee, then switch sides.
The side plank targets the obliques and improves core strength. Lie on your side with legs straight, prop yourself up on your forearm, and lift your hips to form a straight line. Hold for 20-30 seconds on each side.
Dumbbell side bends focus on the obliques, helping create a sculpted waist. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, hold a dumbbell in one hand, and slowly bend to the side at the waist. Return to the starting position and repeat for 12-15 reps
