Instructions
1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, arms raised straight above your head, with hands together.
2. Engage your core and keep your hips square and stable to focus the work on your obliques.
3. In a controlled motion, bend at the waist to one side, sliding one hand down the side of your thigh.
4. Go as far as your flexibility allows without compromising your posture or lifting your feet off the ground.
5. Pause briefly at the bottom of the movement, then slowly raise yourself back to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching to the opposite side.
7. Ensure your movements are slow and deliberate, focusing on engaging the oblique muscles throughout the exercise.
Note: It is important to perform the movement without jerking and to keep your arm straight and in line with your ear during the movements to maintain form and target the obliques effectively.
