TRX Side Plank

How to do it

1. Adjust the suspension trainer straps to ankle height, slide both feet into the foot cradles, and turn onto one side to set up a side plank on your forearm or straight arm.
2. Stack your feet in the cradles and align your shoulders, hips, and ankles in one straight line.
3. Brace your core to control the sway of the suspended straps as you hold the position.
4. Keep your hips lifted and squared forward, resisting the pull of the straps toward the floor.
5. Breathe steadily through the hold for the full work duration, keeping the supporting shoulder stacked over the elbow or wrist.
6. A common fault is letting the hips drop or rotate backward, so keep the core braced and the hips high throughout.
