Hey friends! Ready to add a little strength to your routine? This week, we’re diving into the side plank—a fantastic way to engage your core and improve stability. It’s super easy to do, and you can even modify it to match your fitness level.
How to Perform a Side Plank
To get started, find a comfortable spot on the floor. Lie on your side and prop yourself up on your elbow, making sure it’s directly under your shoulder. Your legs should be stacked on top of each other. Now, lift your hips off the ground, creating a straight line from your head to your feet. Hold this position for about 20-30 seconds, then switch sides. If you’re looking for a challenge, try raising your top leg to engage those obliques even more!
