Yesterday, I decided that I needed to concentrate some more effort on my obliques to tone up the muscles to the side of the developing six pack. Since it will help to display the ultimate six pack – my end goal on this journey that I began a matter of weeks ago.
So here are the details of the new exercise, I don’t know what the official name is for this exercise, however I am simply going to call it:
Oblique’s exercise
Lie on your back on a mat with your knees bent. Position your feet flat on the floor, so that they are directly next to each other.
Raise your back off the mat and then stetch forward, so that your left hand reaches to touch the front of your left calf. repeat this stretch, so that your right hand reaches the right calf in the same way.
This exercise is similar to a form of oblique sit ups, however this is the back friendly version, since as I pointed out in a previous post, I have suffered from lower back problems in the past.
Reps increased
I’ve also increased the number of reps that I do for each of my exercises, as part of my routine, as well as incorporating the new exercise detailed above. The new reps are as follows:
So here is my current reps:
1. Knees to Chest / Reverse Crunch – 120 reps
2. Bridge – 70 reps
3. Knees side to side / oblique exercise – 120 reps
4. Bicycle Legs – 120 reps
5. Obliques exercises / oblique sit ups - 100 reps
6. Back Stretches – 100 reps
