Instructions
1. Find an open space with a non-slip surface to perform the exercise. Select a dumbbell with an appropriate weight for your fitness level.
2. Start by lying on one side, propping your body up on one arm, which should be fully extended beneath your shoulder. Your body should be in a straight line from head to feet.
3. Place the dumbbell on the floor next to you within reach of your top arm.
4. Stack your feet one on top of the other for the side plank position, or place them slightly apart for more stability.
5. Engage your core and lift your hips off the ground to form a straight line with your body. Avoid letting your hips sag.
6. Reach for the dumbbell with your top arm and grip it.
7. Keeping your core tight, perform a row by pulling the dumbbell up towards your rib cage while keeping the elbow close to your side.
8. Lower the dumbbell back down in a controlled manner with the top arm fully extended.
9. Repeat the row for the desired number of repetitions while maintaining the side plank position.
10. Once the set is completed on one side, switch to the other side and repeat the same movement to maintain balance in muscular development.
Remember to use controlled movements throughout the exercise and to breathe properly. It's important to maintain form to prevent injury and to get the most out of the workout. Start with lighter weights and gradually increase the weight as you become more comfortable with the exercise to challenge your muscles appropriately.
