Instructions
1. Begin by positioning yourself sideways next to the padded stool, placing one forearm on the center of the stool. Your body should be in a straight line from your head to your feet, with your feet stacked on top of each other.
2. Engage your core and lift your hips off the ground, supporting yourself on the side of your foot and forearm, to get into the side plank position.
3. Hold the side plank position for a brief moment, ensuring your body is straight and your hips are not sagging towards the floor.
4. Now, rotate your torso toward the stool and reach your free arm beneath your body, simulating a torso twist.
5. Reverse the motion, bringing your free arm back up towards the ceiling, rotating your torso outward, and opening up your body. This completes one repetition.
6. Continue this movement for the desired number of repetitions before switching sides.
As with all exercise, ensure proper form and alignment to avoid injury and maximize the effectiveness of the workout. If you are a beginner, you may want to start with a basic side plank without rotations to build up your baseline core strength.
