5 Super Easy Full Body Workouts At Home To Be Fit & Healthy

#4 Side Planks

The side plank improves spinal stability, as well as strengthens the core and upper-body, with an emphasis on the obliques. The exercise also increases balance throughout the body and strengthens the shoulders, wrists, and arms.

Instructions

Step 1: Lie on one side of your body with your legs stacked and fully extended.

Step 2: Now use your lower elbow and forearm to prop your body up in a side plank position. Remember to squeeze your abs throughout.

Step 3: Hold on to that position and then repeat on the other side.

Important Tips: Hold on for 60 seconds on each side respectively without a break. Remember to squeeze your abs and glutes and don't allow your hips to drop. Maintain a straight line from head to toes.
