This simple yet effective bodyweight exercise builds lateral core strength and endurance. It reinforces postural control while targeting often-neglected oblique muscles. A staple in both rehab and performance programs.
Instructions
- Lie on your side with your forearm under your shoulder and feet stacked.
- Engage your core and lift your hips off the ground, forming a straight line from head to feet.
- Keep your hips level and hold the position, avoiding sagging or rotating.
- Breathe steadily and hold for the desired time, then switch sides.
