[header] How to exercise your abs standing up [title] Use twisting exercises to work your obliques. [step] Ab exercises that include a twist or cross component will work your entire core, but are especially helpful at working the obliques that run along the sides of your abs. [substeps] For example, you can try side-to-side waist twists.
If you work the obliques under your ribs, doing side-to-side circling movements can help you work your obliques. You can throw your abdominal muscles over the top of your head and bow over a bit to get a good twist or weight while doing this exercise. To do a side-to-side side twist, tighten your abs. To do a cross component, make several twists and lengthen your abs. Hold your arms close to your body with your elbows bent. Slowly turn your shoulders to the right while keeping your hips forward. These will help relieve your obliques symptoms, which will gradually widen. Also try doing butterfly twists or quadriceps extensions-although the technique is much more painful.
