3. Side Plank
The side plank is an often neglected exercise. On your side, lift your hips up in a straight line and hold it. Keep your forearms steady and your shoulders pressed down – to avoid pinching your neck. As a progression, try raising your leg up while. Though it targets your obliques, when performed correctly, the side-plank also engages your whole body, including postural muscles.
When first trying this exercise, attempt to hold the form for 10 seconds. You can do this exercise every day, or a minimum of twice per week. Work your way to holding for 40 seconds, and completing three sets. We guarantee you’ll feel stronger!
