I learned a new Pilates core exercise recently, and it will set your obliques on fire without a Russian twist or side plank in sight. It builds strength in the muscles that run along your waist while also working your shoulders and core muscles in general.
It's called the German twist, and I am completely besotted. We know that to protect your lower back and stay functional at any age, all the core muscles in your body should be trained; otherwise, you could experience instability or weakness in other areas. This move is designed to torch your waist and deep core muscles, so it's certainly one to add to your routine.
