Side Planks

• Set up in a side plank position with one forearm on the floor, legs extended, and your body in a straight line from head to feet. Engage your core.

• Make sure your elbow is directly under your shoulder. Don't let your hips sag or pike up. Keep your body in a straight line.

• Squeeze your glutes and engage your obliques by actively pressing your forearm into the floor. This will help stabilize you.

• Breathe deeply and hold the position for as long as you can while maintaining good form. Start with 10-30 seconds and work up to 1-2 minutes per side.

• For added difficulty, you can try lifting your top leg or arm. Or do hip dips by lowering your hips toward the floor then lifting back up.
