Side Plank

The side plank works your whole core but with an emphasis on the obliques. Start out on your left or right side with your weight on your elbow and the side of your foot (do not rest on your ankle). There should be a straight line between your arm pit and the side of your foot. The side plank is static so you hold the position through the duration of the exercise. If you want to add some movement to the exercise you can move your hip that is closet to the floor down so it just barely touches the floor (do not put your weight on it to maintain muscle contraction). Then bring it back to the up position. repeat this throughout the duration of the exercise. Be sure to move in a controlled fashion. After your do one side, flip over and do the other (do not worry the app recognizes exercises with two parts).
