Side Plank Exercise for Core Muscle Toning & Strength

The next exercise we’re going to do is called the side plank. Go ahead and come to your mat on your side, placing your forearm on the mat, shoulder and elbow in one line, elbow and wrist in one line. For support you’re going to place your hand on the mat in front of you. Option 1, you can step one foot on top of the other or you can place one foot in front of the other, navel pulled in to your spine, inhale and exhale as you lift and hold. Option 1, you can keep your hand on the mat; you can place your hand on your hip or place your hand behind your head and hold it here. Go ahead and lower, if you want to place one foot in front of the other, the top leg goes in front of the bottom leg, hands on the mat, inhale – and exhale lift. Again, optional, another option. For more of a challenge you can lower that head to the floor, exhale lift – very good, lower and lift. Lower and lift, lower and lift, lower.
