Why do we need strong side muscles (Obliques)?
Well they’re the muscles used whenever we bend or twist our bodies. Think about how many times you bend and twist during a normal day, and how crucial those actions are during any sort of exercise. Your sides are important parts of your core, often forgotten about. You use them lots more than you may realise. The key word is balance. The best way to improve performance is to have a strong core. But the best way to stay injury free, is to have a balanced core. This means evenly strengthening the front, back and sides of your core. Ultimately, when you do this, you’ll be able to control your movements better (improved performance) and be confident your spine is well protected (reduced chance of a back injury).
