Workout Wednesday: Side Arm Abdominal Twist


Anyone feeling a little weighed down from the holiday sweets yet? Don't let the holidays ruin your fitness goals, and detour you away from your gym regimen. You got this girl!

 If you follow me on snapchat then you'll see my daily workout snap, which usually consists of working on my abs and running. I've said time and time again, but abdominal exercises are my all time favorite. I love doing side arm planks to work the obliques, and creating different variations to target more of the abdominal wall. Let us dive into the details...

What you will need: Just yourself

Primary targeted muscles:  Abs & Obliques

Secondary targeted muscles: Shoulder, Glutes, and Quads

Modification for wrist injury: Drop down to forearm

Start by in the side arm plank position by having supporting wrist under shoulder, and hips stacked. Press your hips up as high as you can. Extend your other arm reaching to the ceiling.

Reach the arm down for the supporting oblique, creating a twisting movement in the waist. Repeat again. You want to perform the exercise 15 reps on each side for 4 sets. 

While this exercise may seem easy, and almost elementary, it's super effective. Ahhhh....the burn is so good!

  9. The Parivahan site was created by the Indian Ministry of Roads, Transport, and Highways. To address the problem of accidents and other road hazards, the RTO Act is carefully adhered to in India. The Parivahan Online website was created by the Indian government to house information on all automobiles and their owners. When investigating accidents in India, having car information on one website is quite helpful. Parivahan Sewa Services including RC book services, vehicle tax payments, ownership transfer process, duplicate RCs, address changes in RCs, and many more are offered by Parivahan. As a result, all car owners and the government may access this website to obtain their information without having to go to the RTO office.
