Side Plank Lift
Adding a hip lift to a side plank turns a static hold into a dynamic oblique exercise. Dropping and raising your hip forces the side of your core to work through a range while the shoulder stabilizes. It's a strong upgrade from the standard side plank.
How to do it
- 1
Lie on your side with your bottom elbow directly under your shoulder, forearm pointing forward.
- 2
Lift your hips and legs into a straight line from shoulders to heels, top hand on your hip.
- 3
Lower your bottom hip toward the floor with control.
- 4
Before it touches down, drive your hip back up to the straight-line position.
- 5
Repeat for your reps, then roll over and work the other side.
