Description: The Best Oblique Exercise (You're Not Doing) A few of the most common moves I see done for oblique work are the Pallof Press, side planks and teapots…love them or hate them…which is a topic for another day. But my favorite is actually a unilateral balance challenge and bodyweight exercise. This move requires no equipment and is deceptively hard. But if you regress to progress, and take the time to master it, it will take not only your core strength, but also your scapular, shoulder, hip, knee and ankle stability to the next level. It’s seriously one of the most amazing compound oblique exercises out there and one of the most awkward feeling as you get your balance - The Single Arm Rotational Plank with Knee Drive. This rotational core exercise is an amazing way to really target your obliques and abs while also working your adductors, quads, Serratus Anterior, shoulders, back…and so much more. However it is more challenging a unilateral move than we give it credit for. If you can’t control the advanced variation and perform it slowly, please make sure to use the modifications I mention. You don’t get better results by rushing a movement or by doing a harder variation you haven’t earned. The best results happen when we are intentional with our exercises so we can get more out of every movement. And you want to make sure you get all of the benefits you can from this move! --
