Side Plank Twists

  • Start in a side elbow plank on your right side with your feet stacked.
  • Place your left arm behind your head, and inhale to prepare. (Or, reach your left arm up toward the sky.)
  • Exhale, engage the deep abs, and rotate your left ribcage toward the floor, bringing your left elbow to your right hand. Hold this a moment, twisting further to deepen your abdominal connection by pulling your navel in toward your spine.
  • For a more intense burn, reach your left arm under your side body, toward the ground (like this).
  • Return to the starting position. Emma says, for an extra challenge, lift your hips up about an inch, then come back to neutral.
  • Repeat for a total of 10 reps, and go directly into the next move before switching sides.
