MODIFIED SIDE PLANK WITH BLOCK SQUEEZE

Sets: 2-3

Reps: 8 each side

  • Lie on your side with knees bent and propped on your forearm.

  • Place a yoga block between your knees.

  • Inhale and expand the ribcage to prep for the movement.

  • Exhale and zip up your core. Drive the bottom knee into the floor to push your hips up. You should feel your bottom glute and obliques working here.

    • Your shoulder will also be helping but the load shouldn’t be overwhelming here. If this is the case, really focus on driving through the hip by pushing the side of your knee into the floor.

  • Inhale as you lower back down and reset. Exhale, repeat.

Modifications:

  • Decrease your range of motion, aiming to build up to full range with practice.
