Best Aqua Exercises for Obliques

Side fat can be very stubborn and hard to get rid of. The reason I used the word stubborn is because that is exactly what it is, at least for men. When we exercise, our bodies don't release fat equally from all areas. For men, the area where fat is released slowly is the lower/side abs, for women it is the hips/pelvic. That makes losing fat from those areas more difficult. 

Performing exercises, aerobically and anaerobically, that target your oblique can significantly help in that direction. 
In addition to targeted exercises, you should also focus on regular aerobic workouts. While targeted exercises help strengthen and shape your side abs, even to some degree help lose fat in that area (by increasing mitochondrial concentration in the working muscles), they won't help completely lose that stubborn side fat. That is why you need to include general aerobic workouts and a proper diet too. 

​In this post we will focus on the targeted exercises that only effect your oblique. As previously mentioned, performing those exercises will help toning your oblique muscles and to some degree burn side fat too. To achieve the desired effect, the exercises need to be performed regularly and for a decent length of time (long enough to cause fatigue in the working muscles). 
Another, even more, important reason to exercise your side-abs is because the oblique is one of the main muscles responsible for spine rotation. So even for basic daily tasks such as turning to speak to a person beside you, you need those muscles. Exercising and stretching your oblique frequently contributes to good posture and prevents muscular and spine-related injuries. 
In the light of the above benefits, we decided to put the best oblique exercises in one place that is easy to reach. ​The following are some of the best side-abs exercises chosen from our library. Click on the photo link to go to the exercise description:

Spread Leg Tucks
Routines and ​Combination of Exercises that target same muscle groups are very effective if you aim for losing fat, muscle shaping and toning. This type of workouts provide continuity and durability needed for muscle toning and the burning of body fat. The following example contains a 14 minute side-abs routine that will help sculpt your oblique:

Stretching is also important. It prevents injuries and keeps our muscles flexible, healthy and ready for exercise. To stretch your oblique in the pool, hold the noodle with straight arms above your head and lean your upper body on one side until you feel your oblique. Hold for at least 1O seconds and then repeat on the other side.
