The exercises below also target the core muscles; specifically the obliques, lower back, and abdominals. Firming these particular muscles can help tighten up muscles in this specific area. These exercises combined with a proper diet, and possibly a reduction in caloric intake, can make a significant difference in your body composition.

Here are the best exercises for obliques, all woven together to form the most effective toning workout possible.

How to do this workout
Before you start any routine, make sure that your muscles are warmed up by doing between 10 and 15 minutes of cardio. Once you’re ready, jump into this routine by completing the indicated number of repetitions for each move. Do the entire routine 2-3 times through. If you need to rest, do so briefly before jumping right back into the motion to complete the repetitions.


1 Minute Jumping Oblique Twist

15 Scissored Crunches

15 Reclined Oblique Twists (Alternating)

15 Pilates Kneeling Side Leg Raise

3 Rounds of Plank Extensions (a 10 second hold on each limb is one rep)

15 Pilates Back Bows

Cool Down and Stretch


Do this entire program at least twice through, but three times for the best toning results. Do this routine 3 to 4 times a week, along with 30 minutes of a cardio workout to help get rid of excess body fat faster.

Note: It’s impossible to spot reduce certain body parts. If you want to reduce trouble zones, you will need to decrease overall body fat and lose any extra weight that you might be carrying. These exercises will help tone the midsection, obliques, and lower back, but a moderate diet, total body strength training and sufficient cardio are most important.

How Often Should You Work Out Your Abs?

If you really want washboard abs, you've got to put the work in every day. Right? Actually, crushing your ab routine everyday might do more harm than good.  “People have the idea that if they do an hour of ab exercises that that’s going to chisel their abs and burn fat from that area—the old spot-reduction approach,” says Wayne Westcott, Ph.D., a professor of exercise science at Quincy College in Quincy, MA. But realistically, Westcott says you should train your core no more than three days a week. While by now you know that spot-reduction is a myth, when you overtrain your abs at lower intensities, core work becomes an endurance-type activity rather than a strength- and muscle-building activity, Westcott explains.

How to Gain Weight the Healthy Way - Building Muscle, Curve Shape

Relationships with food can be complicated. How to eat to gain weight and muscle the healthy way Eat often - Try to eat 6 times a day; 3 meals and 3 snacks.

140-Pound Woman Joins The 1,000 Club

From nothingness, the universe was created. From a simple caterpillar, a butterfly emerges. A dorky teen grows up to be a fashion model, or a bodybuilder. The one constant in life is change, and in our  Transformation of the Week  series, AskMen is celebrating men and women who have turned their lives around through dedication, commitment and hard work. Is that you? Email us your story and pictures at askus@askmen.com and you could be featured next week! Reaching the 1,000-pound club is an impressive feat for any lifter man or woman. It is essentially a standard by which many lifters measure themselves to be “strong.” To join the club, add the total weight you can lift in a squat, bench press and deadlift. If the total is more than 1,000, you’re in. And if you’re not in, it does not mean you’re weak. In fairness, that’s a damn lot of weight. Which made it all the more impressive when Gabrielle Tucker announced on a Reddit thread that she had...
