Performance: Hold a relatively lightweight dumbbell at your side with your feet a little less than shoulder-width apart. Place the hand not holding the dumbbell on your hip (this is the side where you will feel the most “work” during this exercise). To perform a rep, slowly bend to the side holding the dumbbell, letting it slowly sink down your leg and feeling the stretch on the opposite side. Feel the stretch, then slowly return to an upright position and repeat. Repeat for reps on each side. You can also perform this exercise using a the low pulley (with D-handle attachment) of a cable apparatus although if you perform them using these machines you will be bending toward your non-weighted side.
Emphasis: Obliques and serratus muscles
