Core-Strengthening Exercise: Side Plank

"This is one of my favourite moves, as you're targeting your obliques while not putting additional pressure on your spine by crunching," NASM-certified personal trainer Holly Roser said.

  • Begin by lying on your left side. Bring your left elbow directly under your left shoulder. Place your top foot on top or in front of your bottom foot.
  • Push your hips upward to rise into side elbow plank, keeping your core and lower shoulder muscle engaged.
  • Hold while focusing on your breathing.
