Half Wipers bent-leg
Muscles involved
If you want to build midsection strength smartly, the half wipers bent-leg exercise is your ideal starting point before attempting more demanding variations. Working this movement using your bodyweight teaches you to master rotational control step by step, making sure your obliques do the actual work instead of letting momentum pull your legs down. To progress effectively without ruining your posture, keep the tempo slow and controlled, going only as far as you can comfortably return to the center without lifting your upper back. Over time, you will build remarkable lateral stability, preparing your core for tougher challenges while enjoying a super focused oblique burn.
How to do it
1. Lie on your back with your arms extended in a cross and your hips and knees bent. 2. Keep your midsection active and move your legs from side to side like a windshield wiper. 3. Perform the movement slowly and controlled, focusing the twist in your dorsal region. 4. Avoid letting your legs touch the floor and keep your knees bent during the entire exercise.
