How to Do Side Planks // Core Exercises for Women

#Shorts 🙋‍♀️😩 Side planks a struggle?🙋‍♀️😩

Here’s the thing – your core NEEDS to have this kind of strength…to hold steady in a sideways position like this. If not, your hips and back will suffer because your core just isn’t strong enough!

But I see side planks done wrong all 👏 the 👏 time! 👏

A good side plank should NOT be drooping forward. 💥And if you stagger your feet and plant your top hand down, it’s almost impossible to not droop.

✅ Instead, stack your feet and plant your top hand on your hip, or (better yet!) reach it up to the ceiling. This will keep you flat down the front.

If that’s too hard, I’d waaaaay rather have you do nice and flat side planks on your knees than see you struggling and drooping over. Plus, kneeling side planks take a LOT of pressure off your shoulder – it’s a win, win!
