1. Oblique Crunches – Lie down on the floor with your right hand behind your head, your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor, shoulder width apart. Put you left hand on your stomach to feel you muscles working and place your left foot over your right knee. Use your abdominal muscles to raise your upper body off the floor, then twist your torso to the right, taking your right shoulder towards your left knee. Contract left obliques while doing it, then release. Do 2-3 sets of 20 repetitions on each side.
2. Lateral Crunches – Lie down on your left side with your right leg resting directly on top of your left leg. Extend your left arm straight out in front of you, bend your right elbow and place your right hand behind your head. Slowly lift your legs, raising them perpendicular with the floor, and at the same lift your upper body off the floor, towards the legs. Feel the waist muscles on your right side contract as you lift, then release.  Do 2 sets of 20 repetitions on each side.
3. Dumbbell Side Bends – Stand straight with feet shoulder-width apart, with a dumbbell in each hand and your arms loose at your sides. Bend at your waist toward the left side, dropping the left shoulder downward and stretching the oblique muscles on the opposite side. Hold for two seconds, then lift back to center and repeat on the other side. Work up to 3 sets of 20 repetitions.
