Side Plank with Feet Elevated

1. 1 - Place a bench or elevated surface beside you at an appropriate height.
2. 2 - Position yourself sideways with your forearm on the ground, elbow directly beneath your shoulder, and your feet stacked on top of the elevated surface.
3. 3 - Lift your hips off the ground to create a straight diagonal line from your head to your feet.
4. 4 - Engage your core, glutes, and obliques to maintain a rigid body position throughout the hold.
5. 5 - Keep your top hand either on your hip or extended toward the ceiling to help with balance.
6. 6 - Hold the position for the desired duration, breathing steadily and avoiding any hip drop or rotation.
7. 7 - Lower your hips back to the ground in a controlled manner and switch sides to repeat.
