Pilates Resistance Bar - Overhead Side Bend

The side bend works the obliques—the two layers of muscles (the external and internal obliques) at each side of the waist. … The price you would pay for not doing side bends is to miss out on an exercise that has the potential to strengthen greatly important muscles in your core structure.
