Side Plank Elbow Knee Star Static Tips

  1. Focus on maintaining proper alignment throughout the exercise. Start by lying on your side with your elbow directly beneath your shoulder, and stack your feet on top of each other. Engage your core and lift your hips off the ground, forming a straight line from your head to your heels.
  2. Keep your obliques activated by imagining that you are squeezing your waistline towards your spine. This will help you engage those muscles more effectively and improve your form. Remember, the more you focus on engaging your obliques, the more you’ll feel the burn and see results!
  3. Breathe deeply and rhythmically throughout the exercise. Inhale as you prepare and exhale as you lift your hips off the ground. This will not only help you maintain control and stability, but it will also enhance your mind-muscle connection, allowing you to better engage your obliques.
  4. Challenge yourself by adding variations to the side plank elbow knee star static exercise. Once you have mastered the basic form, try lifting your top leg while maintaining stability. This will further engage your obliques and add an extra level of difficulty to your workout.
  5. Consistency is key! Incorporate the side plank elbow knee star static exercise into your regular routine and gradually increase the duration and intensity as you progress. Stay motivated by setting goals and celebrating your achievements
