Workout guide for Core’Blimey
Everyone slimming down, bulking up, working out and toning up. Here are some amazing core workouts focusing on the obliques,which are equally important to giving you a slimmer sexier waist.
Below are the greatest moves to target the obliques and a workout routine to help you shape the body you deserve! Pictures and video!
I have researched for years now to find out what are the best methods for weight loss, whether they be food tips and workout styles and I have narrowed down the most effective moves to boost metabolism and banish fat, for good.If you’re interested have a look at the 5 day fit programme!
The exercises I have listed below use large muscle groups in the body, this enables you to burn fat quickly by raising the heart rate/metabolic rate and engaging multiple muscle groups at one time.
You’ll notice most of the moves are cardio strength, which means the fat is being burned quickly (with cardio) and your metabolic rate stays high with the strength.
Plank work
Oblique knee raises.
How To: In plank position ( Hands on the floor directly over your shoulders and suspending your body on your toes).From here bring your right knee as close to your elbow as you can, bring it back. Repeat on both sides for at least 10 reps.

Weighted TwistsHow To:Hold the weight and keep your arms straight in front of you , draw your arms around your body in a large arc pulling them all the way to the opposite side while keeping your hips aligned. Pause on the contraction, then slowly return, resisting the urge to release the tension from the weights. Do all reps on one side before switching.Tip: Use your obliques to pull you around to the side, while keeping your arms locked straight in front of you.
