Side Plank
Side Plank works your obliques, the muscles that run along the side of your core. Keeping your obliques strong can make rotating and bending your trunk easier.
BEGINNER
Full Plank Passe Twist
Full Plank Passe Twist strengthens the core and oblique muscles that run along the sides and back of your abdomen. This exercise also targets the abs and lower back to a lesser degree.
Instructions
- Start in a pushup position with your hands shoulder-width apart and under your shoulders. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart, so your body forms a straight line from shoulders to ankles.
- Squeeze your abs and bend one knee 90 degrees across your entire body. Make sure your hips move with you, rotating slightly on the ball of your foot that is on the floor. Return back to the starting position to repeat with the other leg.
Tips
- Make sure your thighs are perpendicular to the floor throughout the movement.
- Keep your head, hips, and heels in a straight line.
- Do not round your back by bringing your knee to your chest.
