Bodybow Side Plank Tips

  1. 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 in line with your shoulder.
  2. Engage your core muscles by pulling your belly button in towards your spine. This will help stabilize your body and protect your lower back.
  3. Lift your hips off the ground, creating a straight line from your head to your feet. Keep your body in a straight position, avoiding any sagging or bending at the waist.
  4. Focus on engaging your oblique muscles by actively squeezing them. This will intensify the workout and target those muscles specifically.
  5. Hold the side plank position for a specific amount of time, gradually increasing the duration as you get stronger. Aim for 30 seconds to start and work your way up to a minute or more.
  6. Remember to breathe evenly throughout the exercise, inhaling and exhaling deeply. This will help you maintain focus and control while engaging your obliques.
