Weekly Wednesday Workout: Shimmy & Wine Oblique Move
So you guys already know that I love to have fun while I am working out right? So it was really interesting for me when I stumbled upon this strength training gem:

An exercise that involves a little shimmy and wine of the hips? Yes, thank you. I mean you can speed this video up and all of a sudden its a reggae video! Seriously though, the lifts work the quads really well and the fact that her arms stay straight up the whole time really isolates the obliques (especially during the shimmying and the wining 🙂 If you can’t tell, I am so loving this move!

HELLS YES IM IN TO TRY 🙂
lol its so much fun Miz!
I am 100% sure I would be injured if I tried this! 😉 But it looks really cool!-Ashley
you won’t! it’s not crazy compared to some of the others!
Is it bad that this makes me giggle?!? I’m totally going to try it though – why not? 🙂
lol it made me giggle too!
OoOoOH! That looks like an exercise that my husband would sit around to watch me do.hehe
That’s what I was thinking as well!
ha, it does double duty!! exercise and entertainment!
haha – I TOTALLY sped it up and played it backwards and forward. It’s a nice shimmy shimmy. I wish I could do it that fast. Anything to get rid of love handles. You and Joi find the best videos.
See, you are just like me lol It was actually really hard when I tried it. She made it look so easy.
Ha, this is cute! You know I’m not with the dancing but I’d give it shot in the privacy of my own home 😉 !
So I’m in the bathroom watching this on silent. I want to do these moves now! Love it!
LOL!! When I got your tweet I was like wtf? lolol
Lol you know I tried it the baby was like mom stop stop it you are so funny……I don’t have any hips so I don’t think this works for me.
It ain’t about the hips girl!! just the motion (in the ocean?) i dunno, its late. LOL
Definitely trying this move at home! I’ve been doing squats after my evening walks. I’ll add this to the routine!
This one is fun…and tough!
I’m going to try it but I can guarantee that there won’t be a video!!! Reminds me of last nights Zumba! I think the lift and lower and the back and forth I can do – those hip circles will be entertaining!!!
The hip circles were actually pretty hard, and I actually did it in the gym! LOL
I’d try it privately. I dunno if it would look like much though.lol. Glad I’m the only one that’ll see it. I’m all for workouts that targets my obliques.
Its a semi tough move! I was surprised by its effectiveness.
You would not want to see me if I tried this!!
LOL Michelle, you know I would!
Okay, I know I am going to do this one for sure. Mr. C would LOVE watching my workouts!
I bet he would, its a double duty workout entertainment and exercise!
I taught a muffin top blaster move last week and you shoulda seen the faces of the ladies in my class. Whatever ladies, nobody wants one and I’m not afraid to blast it away!!
Amen to that Denise!
OMG… I have to try this in front of hubby…I am sure I won’t get to finish the exercise…but it looks like it works. I need to really get moving and stop procrastinating.
LOL whatever works!!
oh, hell NAW! Last time I tried these moves, I mysteriously got knocked up pregnant. One minute I’m working out, next minute, I’m pregnant.
I should have had a Josie disclaimer “This exercise may cause pregnancy…especially if your name is Josie.”
If i tried to do this in front of CDub…..I would end up doing a different type of exercise……
See thats what I call double duty exercising! 🙂
wait, is this a move for Eastern Pkwy, labor day weekend. LOL.. i would absolutely do this move.
LMAO yep! Its actually pretty tough! I can’t believe I did it in the gym 😡
girl – – i will do this for about 17 hours straight if the end result is abs that look anything close to hers!
I hear that Donna!
In my workouts lately I’ve been doing this thigh dance and it works, you can feel it. For added cardio burn (and fun) you can punch your fists down and then while the hips are going around in circles take those arms above you and make big circles. 🙂
