HEAre you doing side planks?
Awesome. It’s a great move. Let me show you in 30 seconds how to optimize this movement because a lot of people do it incorrectly and it can hurt your back.
So remember, the role of the core is to hold your spine in a stable position. I see a lot of people doing this and drop down because they think they’re crunching their abs. They are, but they’re also crunching their spine.
What you want to do for a really good side plank is this: Widen your base of support, pull your shoulder blades back, tension your core. Come up and hold. Once this becomes too easy, take a dumbbell. I get bored doing a regular side plank. So I’ll do this move. I’ll even grab a band and do side planks with bicep curls, side planks with rows. But any way that I’m keeping this position and moving other things is great for the core, great for the spine, and most importantly, going to get you better not older.
