There’s no shortage of core workouts but an often neglected and important area of the core to strengthen is the side abs. The internal and external obliques, to give them their proper title, can be found along the sides of your abdomen.
They support the lower back and play an essential role in your posture. As an important part of your mid-body core muscles, they help the body move from side to side, bend and twist, as well as aiding breathing.
