Jumping Oblique Twist with a dumbbell is a dynamic exercise that targets the oblique muscles, as well as the lower body and core muscles. This exercise primarily targets the oblique muscles on the sides of the abdomen, which are responsible for rotating and flexing the torso. It also engages the quadriceps, glutes, and calf muscles in the lower body, as well as the core muscles for stabilization. The amount of time you should do this exercise will depend on your fitness level and goals. Beginners may start with 30 seconds to 1 minute of jumping oblique twists, while more experienced individuals may aim for 2-3 minutes or longer. To increase the intensity, you can increase the weight of the dumbbell or the speed of the jumps. Incorporate jumping oblique twists with a dumbbell into your cardio or full-body workout routine for a challenging and effective exercise that can help improve overall fitness and core strength..
