#3 Side Plank

Targets: Obliques

– Lie on your left side with your knees straight

– Prop your upper body up on your left elbow and forearm

– Raise your hips until your body forms a straight line from your ankles to your shoulders

– Hold this position for 30 seconds

– Turn around so that you’re lying on your right side and repeat

How to Make it Tougher:

While holding the basic position, lift and lower your top leg. Gradually work toward holding the upper leg for 5 to 10 seconds. You could also support your body with your hand instead of resting on your forearm.

Things to Avoid:

Don’t allow your hips or any part of your butt to touch the ground.
