How to perform?

The Side Plank (Static) is a highly effective exercise that targets the oblique muscles on the sides of the body. This exercise is performed by assuming a plank position, but with added emphasis on supporting the body weight through one arm and the side of the foot, while raising the opposite arm towards the ceiling. This challenging and isometric hold engages the core muscles, improves balance, stability and overall body strength. The side plank is a great way to add variety to your workout routine, challenge your muscles in new ways and enhance your overall physical performance.
