The side lift exercise targets the oblique muscles, which are located on the sides of the abdominal area. It also works the hip abductors, which are located on the outer thighs.

To perform the side lift correctly, start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms at your sides. Bend your knees slightly and lean your torso forward. Lift one arm up and across your body, keeping your elbow slightly bent. Reach up and across your body with your other arm, bringing your hands together at shoulder level. Squeeze your shoulder blades together as you lift your arms up and across your body. Hold this position for a few seconds before slowly lowering your arms back down to your sides.

You will need a side lift jack, wheel chocks, and a jack stand. You may also need a set of ramps, depending on the type of vehicle you are lifting.

The number of sets and reps you should do for the side lift will depend on your fitness goals and current level of fitness. Generally, if you are looking to build muscle, you should aim to do 3-4 sets of 8-12 reps. If you are looking to increase strength, you should aim to do 3-5 sets of 4-6 reps.
