How to do it
- Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart, a dumbbell in one hand at your side and your free hand on your hip.
- Bend sideways toward the dumbbell, letting it slide down along your thigh.
- Use the obliques on your opposite side to pull yourself back upright.
- Move only sideways, without leaning forward or twisting, and finish all reps before switching hands.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
