Plank Up

Side Plank Up - works Rectus and transversus abdominis, obliques, and inner thighs


 

Lie on left side on floor with legs stacked and a rolled-up towel between thighs, propping torso on left elbow so that left forearm is perpendicular to torso.

Make it easier: Stagger feet so that side of right foot is on floor in front of left foot for a wider base of support.

Lift hips so that body forms a straight line from head to toe and squeeze towel between thighs. Hold for 1 count, then lower.

Do 10 reps. Switch sides and repeat. Do 3 sets.
