You use the side obliques during belly dancing when you do circular hip rolls to your right and to your left. The external side obliques are the pair of muscles which are located on each side of the rectus abdominis, and they extend diagonally downward and inward from the ribs to the pelvis making the shape of the letter V. It is easy to feel your external side oblique muscles by putting your hands in your coat pocket. Using your external oblique muscles, you can also flex your spine, rotate your upper body, bend sideways, and compress your abdomen. These set of muscles are very important for the various belly dancing moves that your fitness boot camp instructor will show you.

The internal oblique muscles are underneath the external oblique abdomen muscles, and they are both at right angles to each other. Both the internal and the external oblique muscles complement each other to allow certain belly dancing moves at fitness boot camp, including right and left hip infinity loops. Both the internal obliques and the external obliques allow you to flex your spine, rotate your torso, bend sideways, and compress your abdomen.

ignment at right angles to each other as abdominal muscles.

When you compress your tummy in and breathe deeply, to set up the foundation core posture for the overall belly dancing program at fitness boot camp, then you are using your transverse abdominis muscles.
