Workout Wednesday: Obliques (AKA: LOVE HANDLES!)

Since we all how to do cruches 100+ ways, I thought I would show you my new favorite ab exercise. This targets your obliques, also lovingly referred to as love handles. 
 
Start out in a side plank position, with elbow on the ground:
Twist at the torso and touch your free elbow to ground. Return to the above position and repeat.
 
This ab exercise is EVEN harder! It is a VERY small movement. 
Start in a side plank on your elbow with both feet on the floor:
 
Raise your hip up in the air as high as you can and hold it while exhaling for 3 seconds. Lower your hip back down to starting position. Do 12 sets of 3 on each side. 
If you are doing this right you will quickly feel your obliques start to burn. Yesssss!
Like I said, this is a small movement but with BIG results. Your obliques [aka love handles] will start to shrink and tone! Yeah!

Happy Wednesday!
