How to Do Oblique Twists:

To perform oblique twists, follow these steps:

Starting position:

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, keeping your core engaged and your back straight.

2. Hold a dumbbell or plate in both hands in front of your chest, keeping your elbows close to your body.

3. Brace your core and engage your obliques by tightening your abdominal muscles.

Execution:

1. Perform a basic crunch by pulling your abs in towards your spine and lifting your upper body off the floor, without lifting your lower back.

2. As you come up, rotate your torso to the right while maintaining your balance, and extend your arms towards the right, keeping your elbows bent.

3. Return to the starting position and repeat on the left side.

4. Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions.

Tips:

- Focus on engaging your obliques and keeping your core tight throughout the movement.

- To increase intensity, hold the position at the top of the crunch before rotating to the side.

- Keep your lower back pressed into the mat to avoid straining it.

- Modify the exercise by starting with your hands behind your head or by not using any weights.
