Lateral Side Plank (Bent Leg)
The side plank with the top knee bent and lifted out and up through the hold; a shorter lever.
How to do it
Setup
Forearm side plank, feet stacked, hips high.
Steps
- Bend the top knee and lift it out and up.
- Bring the foot back onto the bottom leg.
- Repeat for the time, hips high; switch sides.
Common mistakes
Rolling the chest down as the knee lifts: shoulders stacked. Hips dropping between lifts: keep the bridge high. Lifting the knee forward only: it goes out and up.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
