Side Plank Hand Foot Tips

  1. Start by lying on your side, propping yourself up on one hand and placing your feet together.
  2. Engage your core by squeezing your obliques and lifting your hips off the ground, creating a straight line from head to toe.
  3. Keep your neck aligned with your spine, looking straight ahead or slightly down to maintain proper form.
  4. Breathe deeply and hold the position for as long as you can, aiming for at least 30 seconds to start.
  5. If you feel any strain in your lower back, adjust your positioning by slightly bending your knees or placing your top foot in front of the bottom foot for added stability.
  6. For an extra challenge, lift your top leg and hold it in the air, engaging your obliques even more.
  7. Remember to repeat the exercise on both sides to ensure balanced development of your oblique muscles.
