Suspension Trainer Side Plank Instructions

  1. Attach the suspension trainer to a secure anchor point at waist height.
  2. Stand facing away from the anchor point and hold the handles with your hands.
  3. Step your feet away from the anchor point, keeping them together.
  4. Lower your body down to the side, resting on your forearm and the side of your feet.
  5. Engage your core and lift your hips off the ground, creating a straight line from your head to your feet.

Suspension Trainer Side Plank Tips

  1. Keep your body in a straight line, from head to heels, to engage your obliques and glutes.
  2. Place your elbow directly under your shoulder to maintain proper alignment and avoid strain.
  3. Engage your core by pulling your belly button towards your spine throughout the exercise.
  4. Don’t forget to breathe! Inhale deeply as you prepare, and exhale as you lift your hips.
  5. For an extra challenge, lift your top leg while maintaining the side plank position.
  6. Start with shorter holds, around 10-15 seconds, and gradually increase the duration as you build strength.
  7. Remember to switch sides to work both obliques equally and maintain balance in your training.
