oblique twists are Exercises for Your Abs --the muscles at your waist

here's how to do them:
Focus on bringing your shoulder towards your hip, rather than bringing your elbow to your knee.

Lift your shoulders off the floor and twist, feeling a squeeze in the opposite side of the waist

Flatten the abs at the top of the movement as described above.

you can also try standing oblique twists:

Stand with good posture, feet hip-width apart and knees slightly bent. With arms bent, hold medicine ball in front of chest. While looking straight ahead, contract the abdominals and slowly turn the torso to the right. Release and repeat left side.

excellent spongebobmom!!!! A very basic yet effective and simple but intense exercise that helps tighten the sides if you do it light weight for high reps!
