Dumbbell Side Bends

- Hold a Dumbbell in one hand, and place your other hand behind your head.
- Start standing up straight, then bend over to the side holding the weight. This will stretch out the opposing obliques.
- Engage those obliques to then pull the weight back up to a standing position.
- Having your hand behind your head will help achieve a full range of motion.
- Only lower to a position that is comfortable for you to maintain without compromising form or leaning over.
- Breathe out as you use your core to stand back up to neutral.
