How to do Side Plank
- Lie on your side with your forearm flat on the floor and your elbow stacked directly under your shoulder.
- Stack your feet on top of each other and engage your core to create tension through your whole body.
- Lift your hips off the floor until your body forms a straight line from your head to your feet.
- Brace your top hand on your hip or extend it straight up toward the ceiling for balance.
- Hold the position with steady breathing, keeping your hips lifted and your shoulders square.
- Lower your hips back down with control after the target time, then switch sides and repeat.
