Instructions
Start in a plank position with arms straight and hands beneath your shoulders, keeping your body in a straight line from head to heels.
Shift to a side plank by rolling onto the side of one foot and stacking your feet, while lifting your opposite arm towards the ceiling. Keep your hips elevated to maintain a straight body line.
Hold the side plank for a brief moment, then roll onto your other side forming a side plank on the opposite side, again lifting the opposite arm towards the ceiling.
After holding the second side plank, roll back into the starting plank position.
Continue rolling from one side plank to the other, returning to the plank position in between.
Perform the desired number of repetitions or continue for a set duration.
Make sure to maintain control throughout the movement and avoid dropping your hips during the transitions. This exercise engages the core muscles intensively, provides strength to the shoulder stabilizers, and also brings in an element of dynamic balance and flexibility. It's an advanced move, so ensure proper form is maintained to prevent injury.
