This exercise is an advanced variant of the classic side plank.
Side planks are perfect exercises for those who want to intensively train the rectus abdominis, focusing specifically on the abdominal oblique.
By keeping your arm fully stretched and the your legs crossed, you ensure that the difficulty of the workout increases: we therefore recommend this exercise to those who have an intermediate/advanced skill level and good muscle tone.
How to do it
- 1Lie down on one side, resting on your hand. Keep your legs crossed and your feet are in a hammer-like position.
- 2Lift your pelvis, keeping your abdominal muscles stretched.
- 3Slowly lower your hips and return to starting position.
⚠️ Common mistakes
