8. Side Stretch
Stretching is probably one of the most underrated exercises out there, but it can be of great help for anyone who wants to stay in shape, not to mention that it’s a low impact exercise that works your obliques. How to do it?
• Align your feet with your shoulders
• Keep your hands by the side of your body
• Bend your torso as you lift one of your arms up, sliding it sideways
• Wait a few seconds, go back to the start, and do the same thing with your other arms
• Do a total of 20-24 repetitions using both arms
9. Abdominal Stretch
If you want an exercise that will stretch out your rectus abdominis, the abdominal stretch can be ideal. How to do it?
• As you lie on your stomach, proceed to place your hands close to your shoulders
• Use your hands to lift the upper part of your body, while your pelvis and hips remain on the floor
• Count 15 seconds
• Do it 5 more times
10. Torso Twist Stretch
Finish your workout with some torso twist stretches and really work those obliques and transverse abdominis. How to do it?
• Sit on the floor
• Bend your left leg and stretch your right one
• Use your left hand for support by placing it behind you, and then proceed to twist your abdomen to the left
• As you twist, stretch your right hand over your bent knee
• Don’t twist too much
• After 10 seconds, return to your first position
• Do five repetitions on each side, and you are good to go!
