Hello there fitness lovers!
I hope you are enjoying this rainy Australia day, in the warm and toasty comfort of your home!
As always, excited to bring some new content today, to help all us fit in some healthy and fun movement whatever the weather, rain or shine!
So today, we have myself going through the side plank.
This exercise is great for:
- Toning up those side love handles we may have worked up during lockdown! πββοΈπββοΈπ―ββοΈπ―ββοΈ
- Improving posture πππ
- Developing the strength of the trunk and core πͺπͺπ¦΅π¦΅
- Improving balance π€ΈββοΈπ€ΈββοΈπ€ΈββοΈπ€ΈββοΈπ€ΈββοΈπ€ΈββοΈ
As you watch the video from multiple angles I will go over some important technical cues.
1. Lay on your side, adjusting your legs nice and tight together between the heel and toes.
2. Keep a neutral spine and neck, aligning it with the lower portion of the body.
3. Keep the wrist holding yourself up, stocked under the elbow and shoulder joint.
4. Now, to bring it all together, squeeze legs together, inner thighs pinching, sturdy through the arm holding you up and volia!
Hold for 15-30 seconds and aim to increase, provided you can maintain with adequate form!
I hope this video added value guys, please like if you enjoyed it, comment your thoughts and shoot me a DM for variations or alternative exercises!
