The side bend exercise strengthens your obliques and improves core stability. It helps create a stronger waist and better posture for daily activities.
1. Stand with feet hip-width apart, hands on your hips or one hand behind your head 2. Keep your core tight and slowly bend to one side, leading with your ribcage 3. Lower as far as you can while keeping your side bend movement controlled and smooth 4. Pause briefly at the bottom, then return to the starting position using your obliques 5. Complete all reps on one side before switching to perform side bend on the other side
• Keep your shoulders square and avoid twisting forward or backward during the side bend • Move slowly and control the movement - don't bounce or use momentum • Focus on feeling the stretch and contraction in your side muscles throughout the side bend • Keep your head in line with your spine and don't let it drop to the side
• Bending forward or backward instead of directly to the side during the side bend movement • Moving too fast or using momentum instead of controlled muscle engagement in your side bend • Holding your breath - remember to breathe normally throughout the exercise
