Side Bends

  • Get into starting position by standing with your feet hip-width apart holding a pair of 5- to 10-pound dumbbells or plates by your sides.
  • Begin the movement by bending sideways to your right. Squeeze your obliques as you bend.
  • Return to starting position. Then bend to the left side. This completes one rep.
  • Repeat this sequence for a total of 10 to 12 reps. Try to do three sets with a 45-second rest between sets.
