Shakira did this classic weighted oblique move while her kids pegged her with exercise balls, which means the rest of us have no excuses either.
- Stand with your feet hip-width apart holding five- to 10-pound dumbbells at your sides.
- Bend sideways to the right, squeezing your waist on the right side. Keep your neck as neutral as possible, looking forward not down.
- Pull the left ribs down to return to standing upright. This focuses the work on the left obliques.
- This completes one rep. Make sure to do equal reps on each side.
