✅ Exercises for Obliques: Wood-Chop Crunch
Tighten it up from every angle with this chest fly-oblique crunch combo. Because the only thing that goes better with a solid stomach are matching biceps (OK fine, maybe a new bikini, too).

🔥 SHREDDED ABS OBLIQUES

Tip: For extra ab firming between reps, quickly extend your legs forward so that they’re parallel to the ground, then bend knees to return to start position.
