Side Bend Alternating (bent arm)

Expert Advice

Focus on bending directly to the side rather than forward or backward to isolate the oblique muscles effectively.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and raise one arm overhead, bending at the elbow.
  2. Lean to the opposite side of the raised arm, feeling a stretch along your side.
  3. Return to the starting position and repeat on the other side.
  4. Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions.
