12 Min OBLIQUE AND CORE WORKOUT at Home | No Equipment

This workout is all about targeting the obliques along with the core! 12 minutes on a mat, 40 seconds of each movement with 5 seconds to move to next and finishing with a 3 minute plank! One round bring you to the 12 minutes.

The obliques (internal and external) are the muscles that run down the sides of your abdominals, and are responsible for spinal and lateral flexion, rotation of torso but they also assist in holding in your stomach!

There are so many ways to target your obliques such as core movements, single arm or leg work, balancing... this workout will use movements to activate, lengthen and strengthen the obliques.

The exercises are as follows:

SIDE PLANK LIFT & LOWER
SIDE PLANK LIFT & LOWER
KNEE TUCK TWIST TO LEG ABDUCTION
KNEE TUCK TWIST TO LEG ABDUCTION
ELBOW TO KNEE CRUNCH
ELBOW TO KNEE CRUNCH
STRAIGHT LEG HAND TO FOOT X OVER
STRAIGHT LEG HAND TO FOOT X OVER
TABLE TOP CRUNCH SIDE REACH
TABLE TOP CRUNCH SIDE REACH
HEEL REACHES
SLOW BICYCLE

PLANK 3 mins

With every workout, please amend this to your own ability. Simply press pause, drop to knees or perform on knees if possible.

When targeted workouts, try to really focus your mind on the muscles you are trying to work!

I hope you enjoy this core and oblique workout!

Haven't done a 3-minute plank since my dance days!! Thank you for reminding me that I'm a powerhouse!!!!

Your abdominal routine is phenomenal. You combine many different exercises to train your core. Watching you perform these exercises shows how strong you are. You are very fit, and the best part is that you are training naturally. You are a good inspiration for physical fitness.

Another smashing add on, the or in my case quick core session for a Saturday during Epic Heat 🔥. I did this session about a month ago and by 2 minutes I was trembling 😳, and now a month later I did 3 minutes no tremble until the last few seconds. Really pleased with the result and progress. Thank you Caroline for your workouts and to the Girvan worldwide family for the encouragement and support 😁🤗✔️👍

I love how slow you move when completing the exercises; you really engage your body in every position...
and that's when you really feel the intensity of the workout! AMAZING JOB! ❤❤❤ THANK YOU!

Love that you focus on the obliques... They so often get ignored! Thank you, as always! Xxx

I did the 1000reps core workout today. If I’m not too sore, I’ll try this tomorrow. Update: I felt lazy yesterday so I did it today even though I had a bad headache. I did the plank at first for 1 min and did a 30 seconds interval to complete the 3 minutes.

Your ab workouts are always so challenging. Love them all. And I always love when I see the word "DONE" 🤣 so I can check the workout off for the day with a smile. 🤗 The plank challenge and me have a love/hate relationship haha. I will master the full 3-4 minute challenges you do at the end of some of your workouts in due time!
