Instructions
1. Start by lying on your side with your forearm on the ground and your feet stacked on top of a bench or stable surface. Your elbow should be directly under your shoulder.
2. Engage your core and lift your hips off the ground to form a straight line from head to feet, entering the side plank position.
3. While keeping your body stable, slowly lower your top leg to adduct at the hip then raise it back up to the starting position without letting your hips drop.
4. Perform the desired number of repetitions, keeping your core engaged throughout the movement.
5. Carefully lower your hips back to the ground after completing the set and switch sides to repeat the exercise on the other leg.
Be sure to maintain proper form, keeping the body in a straight line and avoiding any sagging in the hips. Keep the movements controlled, especially when lowering the leg back to the bench.
