The side plank is a great full body exercise. It will build solid core strength especially in the obliques but will hit the entire ab wall as well. A great exercise to throw into your routine along with the traditional and extended plank for overall development. | ||||||

| Exercise Steps |
 |
Get onto your side with your elbow directly under your shoulder |
 |
Lift your hips in the air. |
 |
Maintain a straight line and hold as long as you can. Repeat with the other side. |
 |
Maintain core tension throughout the entire exercise. Look straight the entire time as well. Keep your shoulder packed into the upper back throughout the exercise. Keep a straight line the entire time. If the hips start to sag or are too high then time to pack it in until next time. |
