🔥 Your obliques deserve more than just crunches!
Your obliques play an important role in trunk rotation, lateral flexion, and core stability. This Pilates workout challenges them through controlled movement, side-body strength, and rotation. 💪
Here’s what each exercise brings to your practice:
✨ 1. Oblique Crunches — Challenge your side abs through controlled trunk flexion while keeping the movement intentional.
✨ 2. Side-Lying Oblique Lifts — Target the lateral core by lifting through the side body without relying on momentum.
✨ 3. Side-Lying Double Leg Lifts — Challenge your obliques to stabilise the pelvis as both legs lift together.
✨ 4. Side Plank Hip Dips — Build lateral core strength and shoulder stability while controlling the movement against gravity.
✨ 5. Side-Lying to Teaser — A challenging transition that brings together core strength, spinal articulation, and balance.
✨ 6. Saw — Combine spinal rotation with forward flexion while working on rotational control and mobility.
💡 Your Pilates cue: Think of creating length through your spine before initiating the movement. Keep your pelvis controlled, breathe steadily, and prioritise precision over speed.
📌 SAVE this workout for your next Pilates session! Try 8–12 controlled reps per side, adapting the range of motion to your level.
