The plank is a very simple exercise for activating the core, and the side plank is an advanced variation that targets the obliques along with the abs.

Instructions:

Step 1: Lie on the side and stack your left leg on the right leg.

Step 2: Raise your body and hold the position by positioning your elbow below the shoulder. Ensure that the torso and the legs form a straight line while holding the plank. Do not allow the hips to sag towards the floor.

Step 3: Hold the position for thirty seconds and return to the starting position.

Perform the same motion on the other side. Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of times.

Important tip: Focus on holding the plank for longer durations to activate the abdominal muscles with greater intensity.
