6 Intense HIIT Workouts For Abs And Obliques

#5 Reverse Lunge With a Twist

Lunges are traditionally performed to activate the muscles in the lower body. However, with a twist, this exercise also targets the core and the obliques in the abdomen region.

Instructions:

Step 1: Stand straight with feet positioned shoulder-width apart, and place your arms on the side and parallel to the body.

Step 2: Take a step backwards with your left leg and bend until the left knee touches the floor. Twist your torso over the right leg and stretch your right arm outwards.

Step 3: Hold for a second and return to the initial position. Repeat the same motion on the other side to complete one rep.

Perform the exercise for the recommended number of times.

Important tip: Perform the exercise while holding dumbbells for added resistance and improved customisability.
