One of my all-time favorite exercises is the plank. It is simple, requires no space, no equipment, no gym, and no investment in time. Standard planks are great for core strength. But when you need to go to another level, and want to work the hips and core together, then side planks are the way to go. They are a super great for hip and core strength in addition to the shoulders which support your body weight.<\/span><\/p>\n

We’ve\u00a0previously presented videos on a three-part standard plank routine and on a mobile plank exercise. And today, with the help of Tema Esberg of Potentia Personal Training, I\u2019d like to share another version of this amazing isometric exercises, known as the Side Plank.<\/span><\/p>\n

The basics<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

You are going to be doing the side plank with your body weight on your forearm. Do it first on your right side and then again on your left side. So while the regular plank is done once with both arms holding you up, the side plank is done twice, once on each side.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a great exercise and very challenging. We will do three iterations for this: beginner, intermediate and advanced. For all levels and continued progressing.<\/span><\/p>\n
