Maybe you think this is an exercise that belongs in “toning” videos and Pilates classes and nowhere else. Maybe you hadn’t considered that it might be a powerful tool for building functional strength and healthier movement. Maybe you didn’t know that it can combat back pain and build a stronger spine in the often-neglected frontal plane! Maybe you didn’t realise that it can improve hip stability and mobility and even give you a bigger squat! In which case, you might also have overlooked how side plank strengthens the obliques creating a more detailed and shredded-looking mid-section. And you might not realise that it’s perfect for addressing imbalances, particularly in the QL muscles. Things get even more interesting once you discover all of the side plank variations, too. These can make the movement significantly more challenging AND more effective for even the strongest athlete. So, yeah, reconsider the side plank! Whether it’s to build stability and healthy movement into old age OR whether you want to get a better squat and greater athleticism. In this video, I’ll discuss how to perform the side plank, the best variations, and how to get the most of the myriad benefits. Let’s go!
