Instructions
1. Begin by positioning yourself next to a wall, lying on your side with your feet together and one forearm directly below your shoulder.
2. Push your forearm against the floor to raise your body so that it forms a straight line from your head to your feet.
3. Rest your other hand against the wall beside you for balance.
4. Keeping your core tight and your body straight, lower your hips towards the floor without touching it, then lift back up to the side plank position.
5. Perform a set number of repetitions on one side before switching to the other side.
6. Ensure that your movements are controlled and that your hips do not sag or rotate throughout the exercise.
7. Hold for a few seconds at the top of each lift for an isometric challenge.
Remember to keep your breathing steady throughout the exercise and always prioritize proper form over the number of repetitions to maximize effectiveness and prevent injury.
