Instructions
1. Begin in a side plank position, supporting your body on one arm with your feet stacked and your body in a straight line from head to heels.
2. Lift your hips to ensure your body forms a straight line and engage your core muscles.
3. With your free hand, reach underneath your torso towards the space just in front of your supporting arm, simulating a "pull" motion while keeping your arm close to the body.
4. Return your moving arm to the starting position, reaching up towards the ceiling or placing your hand on your hip.
5. Maintain a stable side plank position throughout the movement, avoiding any rotation or sagging in the hips.
6. Perform the desired number of repetitions on one side, then switch to the other side and repeat.
It's important to keep your movements slow and controlled to maintain proper form and maximize engagement of the target muscles.
