Dumb question, but what/where are the obliques?

[waterfalls]

I have no idea was reading instructions for exercises, and one was to 'work your obliques'

c'mon someone must know

I think this would be oblique abs? So they're going to have you twisting and doing crunches, basically?

I don't think these muscles are very visible, but they are important.

does this help?

If it's the muscles I think, you'll be doing stuff like raising right shoulder + left leg at the same time, trying to bring them together.

cheers
