Core Side Planks

Today we focus on core side planks, exploring various strengthening and stabilising variations, all performed from the elbow to protect your wrists. We engage the entire trunk and work on shoulder stability. You can modify by keeping your bottom knee down, building up to the full version. I demonstrate how to lengthen and crunch, keeping hips lifted, activating your core, and ensuring shoulder stability. We then move through knee-to-elbow crunches, challenging hip lifts and leg lifts, and finishing with optional rotation exercises using a band or weight. It’s a fantastic way to build strength and notice the difference between sides.
