gf11 Core | Obliques Workout
Welcome to my Obliques workout where every move is focused on strengthening your core side muscles – also known as your obliques. In this blog you’ll find a summary of the workout with some tips and notes. But if you just can’t wait to get moving, then dive right into the 11-minute workout.
If you have time, take my 5-minute warm up before your workout and my 5-minute post workout core stretch when you’re done.

Before You Begin
Following a 1-minute warmup, this workout is is made up of 5 unique obliques exercises which are performed on one side for 40s followed by 20s rest. The sequence is then repeated on the opposite side. The purpose of the workout is to strength train your core oblique muscles. I used a single 8 lb weight.
