Kneeling Side Plank
A good exercise for building lateral core strength. To perform it, lie on your side with your bottom knee bent at roughly a 90-degree angle resting on the floor. Place your bottom forearm on the floor with your elbow directly under your shoulder. Now, lift your hips off the ground until your body forms a straight line from your head to your knee. Hold steady and feel your lateral core muscles working hard to keep you lifted and strong!
Performance Tips
Always ensure your elbow is stacked directly under your shoulder to protect your joint.
Keep your body in a straight line from your head through your hips to your knees.
Actively engage your obliques (side abdominal muscles) to lift and hold your hips high.
Keep your neck neutral and your gaze straight ahead or slightly down.
You can place your top hand on your hip or extend it straight up towards the ceiling.
