Bend sideways, sliding your hand down your leg. Keep hips stable, gaze forward, and avoid rotation. Return to upright by contracting the opposite oblique. Maintain balance with flat feet.
Actively engage your core muscles throughout the entire movement to stabilize your spine and protect your lower back. Focus on maintaining a straight back throughout the exercise, preventing any rounding or arching to ensure proper oblique activation. Control your descent as you bend, resisting the urge to drop quickly, which helps prevent injury and maximizes muscle engagement. Continuously adjust your stance to maintain balance on the dome, preventing excessive swaying or rocking. Keep your hips facing forward throughout the exercise to isolate the oblique muscles and avoid compensating with hip rotation.
