Another Way to Give your Abs some Abs
Side Planks are a variant of the Plank, but they target more of the obliques than the normal plank. From my experience, Side Planks also help train the stabilizer muscles in the shoulder.
Here's how to do them:
- Start by placing your elbow on the ground, similar to how you would brace your body with your elbow while leaning against the wall
- Straighten your legs
- Activate/engage your obliques that are towards the floor/ground
- Brace the rest of your core to feel like you are stiff as a board
- Maintain the hold for a duration of time to complete a set, then complete the exercise to the other side
If holding the Side Plank is too boring, you can do a type of oblique dips like this:
- Set yourself into holding the Side Plank
- Slowly, allow your hip to drop and touch the floor/ground
- After touch down, brace again and return to Side Plank
We can call these Side Plank Dips.
Work hard. Improve yourself. Be the Hero. You got this.
