Side Plank Rotation

How to do it

1. Set up in a side plank on your forearm, elbow stacked under your shoulder and feet stacked or staggered for balance.
2. Reach your top arm straight up toward the ceiling, opening your chest and stacking your shoulders.
3. Rotate your torso and thread the top arm underneath your body, twisting through your core.
4. Reverse the rotation and open back up to the starting side plank position, reaching the arm back toward the ceiling.
5. Exhale as you rotate through and inhale as you open back up, keeping the hips lifted for the full work duration.
6. A common fault is letting the hips drop during the twist, so keep the core braced and the hips high throughout the rotation.
