How to perform?
Obliques Windshield Wipers is a dynamic exercise that primarily targets the oblique muscles, located on the sides of the abdomen. This exercise is inspired by the motion of a windshield wiper on a car, as it mimics the back-and-forth rotation of the legs while keeping the upper body stable. This movement pattern effectively engages and strengthens the entire core, including the rectus abdominis, transverse abdominis, and lower back muscles. The Obliques Windshield Wiper exercise also improves flexibility and mobility in the hips, as well as enhances balance and coordination. This challenging exercise can be performed using body weight or with additional resistance, such as a medicine ball or a dumbbell, to increase intensity and maximize results.
