SIDE PLANK
Channel: Intuit Fitness Training

The Side plank is a great standalone exercise or the platform for many progressions and variations.


As with all static planks, work to keep your pelvis level, no sagging or raising.  Don't let your shoulders migrate up towards your ears and keep from rolling forward or backwards.  This exercise is a great indicator of lateral core stability and can help determine where you may need to focus extra attention in your training for a well balanced core.  One note of mention, for some people with shoulder issues, this exercise may be contraindicated.
