The Side Plank Rotation Touch workout is a bodyweight exercise that primarily targets the obliques.

  2. Engage your obliques by squeezing them tightly and maintaining a strong core throughout the exercise.
  3. Rotate your upper body by reaching your top arm underneath your body and touching the ground on the opposite side.
  4. Keep your hips lifted and avoid sagging or collapsing during the rotation.
