TRX Side Plank

A side plank with both feet suspended in TRX cradles, intensifying the demand on the obliques.

How to do it

1. Place both feet in the TRX foot cradles and lie on your side.
2. Prop up on your bottom forearm with your elbow under your shoulder.
3. Lift your hips so your body forms a straight line.
4. Stack your top foot over the bottom foot.
5. Hold the position while breathing steadily.
6. Lower and switch sides after the set.

Tips

• Brace your obliques before lifting your hips off the floor.
• Do not let your hips drop toward the floor.
• Press the forearm into the floor to keep the shoulder active.
