Your obliques contribute to any motion that involves your trunk or your midsection. Just like your trapezius can perform a variety of neck-related motions, your obliques can perform a variety of waist-related motions.
You use your obliques constantly, in nearly every physical activity you perform. Swinging a baseball bat, golf club or tennis racket use obliques to help twist the body.
