Side Plank Elbow Foot Static

Video coming soon...

The Side plank elbow foot static workout is a bodyweight exercise that primarily targets the Obliques.

By using the bodyweight, this workout effectively engages the Obliques without overstating its effect on auxiliary muscles.

It involves balancing on one forearm and the side of the foot, creating a static hold that challenges the core muscles.

This exercise is great for building core stability and strength, and can be modified to suit different fitness levels.

Start by lying on your right side with your legs extended and stacked on top of each other.
Bend your right elbow and place it directly under your shoulder, with your forearm resting on the floor.
Engage your core muscles by drawing your belly button in towards your spine.
Lift your hips off the floor, creating a straight line from your head to your feet.
Extend your left arm towards the ceiling, keeping it in line with your body.
Hold this position for the desired amount of time, focusing on maintaining proper form.
Lower your hips back down to the floor, returning to the starting position.

Position your body in a straight line, with your elbow directly beneath your shoulder and your feet stacked on top of each other. Engage your core by pulling your belly button towards your spine, and keep your hips lifted off the ground.
Focus on your breathing as you hold the side plank. Take deep breaths in through your nose, and exhale slowly through your mouth. This will help you maintain control and stability throughout the exercise.
Imagine a string pulling your top hip towards the ceiling, creating a slight rotation in your torso. This will activate your obliques and intensify the workout for your side abs. Keep your gaze straight ahead to maintain proper alignment.
Don’t forget to engage your glutes and legs during the side plank. Squeeze your glutes to stabilize your hips, and press through your bottom foot to create tension in your leg muscles. This will help you maintain balance and increase the overall challenge.
Start with shorter holds and gradually increase the duration as you build strength. Aim for 15-30 seconds initially, and work your way up to 1 minute or longer. Remember, progress takes time, so be patient with yourself and celebrate every small improvement along the way!
