The battle rope side plank circles workout is a challenging exercise that targets the obliques and shoulders.

By incorporating the battle rope, the workout intensifies the engagement of these specific muscle groups.

The battle rope adds resistance and instability, forcing the obliques and shoulders to work harder.

While other muscles may be activated, the primary focus of this workout is on the obliques and shoulders.

Start by lying on your side with your legs extended and stacked on top of each other.
Place your forearm on the ground directly under your shoulder, keeping your elbow bent at a 90-degree angle.
Hold the battle rope with your free hand, gripping it firmly.
Engage your core and lift your hips off the ground, forming a straight line from your head to your feet.
Begin the exercise by moving the battle rope in a circular motion, creating small circles with your arm.
Continue the circular motion for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining control and stability throughout.
After completing the repetitions, slowly lower your hips back to the ground and release the battle rope.
