Standing Oblique Crunch

BeginnerBodyweight

This standing side bend loads one oblique at a time using a weight plate held at your side. Working upright emphasizes balance and control while directly targeting the muscles along your waist. A simple, effective isolation move for the obliques.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand tall, feet hip-width apart, holding a weight plate in one hand with your arm straight down at your side.

  2. 2

    Rest your other hand on your hip for stability.

  3. 3

    Bend sideways at the waist, lowering the plate down toward the floor while keeping your arm straight.

  4. 4

    Contract that oblique to pull yourself back upright.

  5. 5

    Complete your reps, then switch the plate to the other hand and repeat.
