Side Plank
Toned flankAbout
It's the best workout to create a toned side line. It's important to keep your waist straight so that it doesn't bend!
How to Side Plank
Starting Position
1. Please lie on your side with your legs stretched out.
2. Use the arm on the floor to support yourself.
3. Place your opposite hand comfortably on your leg.
Proper Form
1. Lie on your side and position your elbow under your shoulder.
2. Keep your legs together and engage your core and glutes to create a straight line from your head to your legs when viewed from above.
3. Maintain tension in your core for the given time and repeat the same on the opposite side.
Breathing Technique
1. Inhale, then exhale as you lift your body.
2. While holding the position, feel the tension in your abs and breathe slowly and comfortably.
Precautions
1. When doing a side plank, make sure your body forms a straight line from your head to your toes, so that your lower back does not sag and your hips do not drop.
2. If you feel pain in the front of your shoulder or in your lower back, try lowering the difficulty by placing your knees on the floor.
