Oblique Lying Single Leg Raises - External Oblique Exercise for Muscle Tone - Six Pack Abs

Technique - Start by laying down on the floor in an area that will provide enough space to perform the exercise. Start with the weaker side of your oblique muscles first. Roll onto your hip keeping your back and body straight. Rest your upper body on your elbow and place your free hand onto the floor for extra stability. Exhale as you raise your top leg up sideways in a controlled manner as far as you can keeping it straight. Hold this position for a count of 1. Inhale as you lower your leg back to the starting position in a slow, controlled manner again keeping it straight and solid. Do not allow your leg to rest on top of your other leg or allow any longer than a 1 count before starting the next rep as this will maintain pressure on the muscles being used and increase the overall benefits of the exercise. Repeat this technique in the other direction with the other leg.
