Bicycle Crunches

 

Bicycle crunches are a powerful workout for targeting the oblique muscles. To perform this exercise, lie flat on your back, place your hands behind your head, and lift your legs to a 90-degree angle. Alternate bringing your opposite elbow close to the opposite knee while straightening the other leg, imitating a pedaling motion. Ensure you engage your core and keep your movements controlled for maximum effect.

Side Plank

 

The side plank is excellent for strengthening the obliques. Lie on your side and prop your body up using one forearm. Align your elbow directly under your shoulder and stack your feet on top of each other. Lift your hips off the ground to form a straight line with your body, keeping the core tight. Hold this position for as long as possible, then switch sides.

Russian Twists

 

Russian twists are effective for burning oblique fat. Start by sitting on the ground, bending your knees, and leaning back at a 45-degree angle. Hold a weight or medicine ball with both hands and twist your torso from side to side, touching the ground on each side. Ensure to keep your core engaged and perform the movements in a controlled manner.

Woodchoppers

 

Woodchoppers involve a twisting motion that is great for the obliques. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and hold a weight with both hands. Start with the weight on one side of your body and lift it diagonally across your body, fully extending your arms. Perform the movement in a controlled motion, and repeat on the opposite side.

Mountain Climbers

 

Begin in a high plank position with shoulders over wrists, core engaged. Quickly alternate bringing one knee to the chest, then back out again, increasing speed as if running against the floor. This workout is intense on the core, including the obliques, and promotes fat burn.

Standing Oblique Crunch

 

This variation emphasizes the obliques while standing. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, and place your hands behind your head. Lift one knee to meet your elbow on the same side, squeezing the obliques. Alternate sides, maintaining a straight posture throughout the exercise.

Spiderman Planks

 

Start in a traditional plank position, ensuring your body is in a straight line from head to heels. Move one knee towards the same side's elbow, engaging your obliques, then return to the plank position. Repeat the movement on the other side, alternating steadily.

Side Bend

 

Stand straight with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in one hand. Keep your opposite hand on your hip or behind your head. Bend sideways at the waist toward the weight while keeping your core tight and hips stable, then return to the starting position. Perform the desired repetitions on one side, then switch.

Seated Leg Tucks

 

Sit on the ground with your legs extended and hands behind you for support. Pull your knees toward your chest as you exhale, squeezing your oblique muscles, then straighten your legs back out while inhaling. This exercise requires core strength and targets the oblique muscles.

Windshield Wipers

 

Lie on your back with your arms out to the sides for stability, and lift your legs to a 90-degree angle. Keeping your legs straight, slowly lower them to one side while keeping your shoulders on the ground, then bring them back to the center before lowering to the other side. This controlled oblique workout engages the core throughout.

How to Combine Exercises for Losing Obliques Fat

 

Bicycle Crunches and Standing Oblique Crunch

 

  • Pair Bicycle Crunches with Standing Oblique Crunches to effectively target the obliques from both a lying and standing position. Begin with Bicycle Crunches to engage the obliques in a dynamic pedaling motion, then transition to Standing Oblique Crunches to maintain muscle activation while improving balance and coordination.

 

Russian Twists and Seated Leg Tucks

 

  • Alternate Russian Twists and Seated Leg Tucks for an intense seated core workout. Start with Russian Twists for rotational strength, then follow with Seated Leg Tucks to continue activating the obliques while incorporating a full-body movement.

 

Side Plank and Spiderman Planks

 

  • Integrate Side Plank with Spiderman Planks to enhance core stability and strength in the obliques. Hold Side Plank to improve lateral muscle endurance, then switch to Spiderman Planks to dynamically engage the obliques in a plank variation that emphasizes movement.

 

Woodchoppers and Side Bend

 

  • Combine Woodchoppers with Side Bend to target the obliques through a range of motion. Start with Woodchoppers for powerful rotational movement, then use Side Bend to isolate and intensify the stretch and contraction of the oblique muscles from a standing position.

 

Mountain Climbers and Windshield Wipers

 

  • Blend Mountain Climbers with Windshield Wipers to add a dynamic cardio element to oblique strengthening. Begin with Mountain Climbers to ramp up the heart rate and engage the core quickly, then transition to Windshield Wipers for controlled, slow oblique-focused work that emphasizes core stabilization.

Got questions? We have answers.

Do your plans include prescriptions and medications?

Curex plans cover everything from reviewing your medical intake to providing prescription medications, with free shipping included. There are no extra or hidden charges. Prescriptions are issued only after a medical provider reviews your information to confirm that the medication is suitable for you. Our service includes continuous support and regular follow-ups to ensure your treatment stays on track.

Our clinicians may order labs and additional medications for you, which would not be covered by the plan but for which you can use your insurance.

Please note: Compounded medications are tailored to individual needs or used in case of shortages, but they are not FDA-approved for safety or effectiveness. A prescription is required. Results may vary from person to person.

What medications do your providers prescribe?

We prioritize a personalized approach to your health. If your medical provider prescribes medication, options may include GLP-1 treatments such as compounded semaglutide (the active ingredient in Wegovy®* and Ozempic®*). Our providers prescribe only combination treatments not available at your local pharmacy that may include vitamin B12, etc. to help you achieve your goals faster.

Depending on your treatment goals, other medications such as metformin may also be considered. We recognize the importance of managing side effects, so your care plan might include medication to ease symptoms like nausea. Your well-being is always our top priority!

Please note that compounded medications are customized to meet individual patient needs and are not FDA-approved for safety or effectiveness. A prescription is necessary. Results may vary from person to person.

Curex and its pharmacy partners do not have any association with Novo Nordisk.

Will I be prescribed semaglutide if I sign up?

Your health journey is unique, and we tailor our care to match. Any prescriptions, including semaglutide, will be based on the expert assessment of the medical provider matched with you through our platform. You can trust that your treatment plan will be personalized to fit your specific needs. And if semaglutide is not prescribed, we will provide a full refund.

What is compounded medication?

Compounding involves creating customized medications to meet the specific needs of individual patients. For instance, a patient may require a liquid version of a medication that is only available in tablet form. Pharmacies can also compound medications using FDA-approved drugs that are on the FDA’s shortage list.

These compounded medications are made by state-licensed pharmacies that follow both federal and state regulations, including quality standards. However, when compounded in accordance with these laws, these medications are not subject to FDA approval and are not evaluated for safety or effectiveness.

Is compounded medication the same as generic medication?

Compounded medications differ from generic drugs. Generics require FDA approval by demonstrating bio-equivalence to the brand-name drug. In contrast, compounded medications are not FDA-approved. They are made based on a personalized prescription that may not be commercially available elsewhere or when a drug appears on the FDA’s shortage list. Compounding pharmacies must have the proper licensed facilities and comply with state and federal regulations before dispensing these medications.

Is insurance required?

No, Curex doesn’t require insurance. We offer clear and simple pricing, along with affordable medication options, making it easy and accessible to take care of your health.

Can I pay with an FSA or HSA card?

Yes! You can pay with your HSA or FSA card.

How much does treatment cost?

Semaglutide is priced at $149 for your first month, and $299 per month thereafter. This includes unlimited messaging with your medical provider, access to compounded medication at any dosage (if prescribed), and a user-friendly portal where you can manage your care plan and track your progress.

These prices do not include sales, promotions, or special offers.

Can you prescribe Ozempic®* or Wegovy®*?

Our providers focus on personalized medications and dosages that aren’t commercially available at your local pharmacy. While we don’t prescribe Ozempic®* or Wegovy®* directly, we may prescribe treatments containing the same active ingredient. These medications are specially compounded for you by a licensed pharmacy to meet your specific needs.

Are video visits with a provider required?

Our providers will review your information 100% online. Depending on where you live and the specifics of your medical history, our providers may require you to have a video visit or asynchronous visit via text message. If prescribed, you’ll get unlimited online access to message your provider as needed for follow-ups, adjustments, and answers to your questions.
