Weekly Wednesday Workout: Side Plank With Oblique Crunch
This week’s Weekly Wednesday Workout is a tad bit more simpler than last week, but targeting the same pesky oblique area. With the summer coming I have been paying extra attention to this area as I would essentially like to be love handle free for the summertime 🙂

Not too terrible, right? The most important part of this exercise is making sure your elbow hit your knee every time, that way you can ensure that you get the full crunch in the abs too. I like the fact that it is one of those exercises you can do anywhere including in front of the TV. 🙂 I think this move combined with this move and I shall have the tightest obliques this side of Brooklyn.
Would you try the Side Plank With Oblique Crunch? Do you know of any great Oblique moves?

We were clearly on the same train of thought today – I was planning to do a similar move for my 43 – better get on it!!
ha, I see!
I think I could do a few of those, but would def. feel the burn after a few.
Thanks for sharing. And for stopping by my blog the other day on my SITS day. I really appreciate it 🙂

That looked easy you know every time you put an exercise on here I try it before I write the comment to see if you are setting me up for the okey dokey that was pretty neat though.

see not everything I put up is complete torture 🙂
Oh I need this. My son is now 10 months old and I can’t use the “I just had a baby” excuse anymore. At least with summer I can wear maxi dresses until the love handles fully disappear..

I still think I’m using that excuse everyday, and my baby is 17 months old 🙂
I am 100% sure just attempting to get into that position would cause me to break something!! That is seriously impressive!-Ashley

not so bad right? Not every move I put up is designed to torture! 🙂
Another great exercise Nellie, I hope you get toned obliques for the summer. Not sure if you’ve already featured it but I’ve found a great exercise for the obiques is the crossover knee to elbow. Start off in a straight arm plank position then take each knee to the opposite elbow. Keep the abs tight and still maintain that plank position (abs tight, bum down, hips up). Enjoy!
