6 Best Exercises to Build Your Obliques

The obliques are muscles on the sides of your abdomen that help with twisting and bending movements.

Building your obliques can improve your core strength and stability, as well as enhance your overall physique.

The six best exercises to build your obliques are side plank, Russian twist, bicycle crunch, side bend, wood chop, and standing trunk twist.

Side plank involves lying on your side and lifting your body off the ground using your forearm and feet.

Russian twist involves sitting on the ground with your knees bent and twisting your torso from side to side while holding a weight.
