Dumbell Abdominal Exercises
By adding resistance with a dumbell during your abdominal exercises, you can build a stronger mid-section. An abdominal dumbbell exercise you can perform is the dumbbell side bends. This exercise works the oblique muscles of your core muscles.
Dumbbell Side Bends
• Stand with your feet shoulder with apart, and knees slightly bent
• Hold one dumbbell in your left hand
• Place your right hand behind your head during this exercise, and slowly bend sideways at your waist on your left side.
• The dumbbell will be lowered towards your knee
• Return slowly to an upright position
• Repeat the exercise for 10-15 repetitions
• After you’re finished the exercise on one side, change the dumbbell to your other hand and repeat the exercise on the opposite side.
Key Points
• Do not bend forward or backwards during this exercise
• Move slowing during the exercise
• Use a dumbbell weight where you can perform 10-15 reps without feeling that it is too light
