The rolling side plank is a core stability exercise that improves strength and endurance throughout the core with an emphasis on the obliques. The exercise also increases strength in the lower back and shoulders.
Instructions
Lie on one side with your legs completely straight. Using your elbow and forearm, prop your body up, making sure your body forms a straight line from your shoulders to your ankles.
Roll your body over into a front plank position with your weight on both elbows and forearms and your body in a completely straight line. Hold this position briefly.
Transition into a side plank on your other side, making sure that once again your body forms a straight line from shoulders to ankles.
Trainer’s Tips
Do not let your hips sag during any part of the movement.
Do not round your back at any point.
Squeeze your abs and glutes throughout the movement to provide more stability.
