Exercise Profile

Side Plank Hand Foot Static Overview

The side plank hand foot static workout is designed to target the obliques using bodyweight exercises.

By balancing on one hand and foot, the bodyweight is employed to engage the oblique muscles effectively.

While other muscles may be activated, the focus remains on the obliques to strengthen and tone them.
