MID/FINISH POSITION

From the starting position slowly contract your left oblique muscles while you twist your torso to the right, moving your elbow towards your right knee. Breathe out and slowly and intensely contract your oblique. When you reach a position where your elbow is almost touching your knee, return to the starting position and repeat. Exercise can also be performed on a flat bench.
