Weighted Ball Side Bend

A side bending exercise performed with a weighted ball to strengthen oblique muscles.

Instructions

• Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a weighted ball with both hands.
• Slowly bend to one side, lowering the ball toward your knee without rotating your torso.
• Return to the starting position and repeat on the other side.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Rotating the torso instead of performing a pure side bend.
• Using momentum to lift the ball rather than controlled movement.
• Bending the knees excessively.
