Step-by-step
- Take a dumbbell in one hand and hold it at the side of your leg; place your other hand on your waist.
- Set your feet shoulder-width apart and keep your torso upright.
- Bend your torso only to the dumbbell side without leaning forward or backward.
- Squeeze the oblique on the opposite side to pull your torso back to upright.
- Reach slightly to the opposite side to feel a full contraction; switch hands when the set is done.
Coaching tip
Hold the dumbbell in one hand; if you carry a weight in each hand the loads cancel out and the exercise becomes ineffective.
