Muscle: Internal Obliques

The internal obliques are a pair of muscles located on the sides of your abdomen, just beneath the external obliques. If you place your hands on your hips and slide them down a bit, you’re touching where these muscles are. They play a key role in twisting your torso and bending sideways, which is something you do daily when reaching for something or turning to talk to a friend.These muscles are important not just for movement but also for maintaining good posture and stability. Strong internal obliques support your spine, helping you lift, bend, and even engage in sports without injury. They also contribute to a toned midsection, which many people aim for when working on their fitness goals.Ready to strengthen your internal obliques?
