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
Half-Kneeling Rotation
Half-Kneeling Rotation improves core strength, hip mobility and increases glute activation. This workout also enhances rotational power.
Instructions
- Take a kneeling position with your legs together and bend your front knee at a 90-degree angle, with your back knee on the floor. Keeping your chest straight, lift your arms, so your palms are directly behind your head.
- Rotate your torso towards the outside of your front leg. Pause and then return to the starting position.
Tips
- Squeeze your buttocks to maintain stability.
- Do not rotate through your lower back. Twisting happens in your abs.
- Keep your chest straight at all times.
