Forearm Side Plank Twists

Instructions

1. 1.Start in side plank with your grounded arm bent at the elbow so you’re leaning on your forearm.
2. 2.Place your free hand behind your head so your elbow is pointed towards the ceiling. This is your starting position.
3. 3.Twist your free elbow around and touch it to your grounded hand, keeping your core engaged and your hips lifted.
4. 4.Return to your starting position.
5. 5.Repeat for the required reps, then change sides.

Tips

• Don’t collapse through the shoulders. Stay active through the standing arm by continuously pushing gently through the floor.
• To help keep your hips elevated, push with your feet against the floor to keep your legs active.
• Keep a neutral neck position to avoid strain.

Breathing Instructions

1. Breathe in at the top of the rep. 2. Breathe out as you bring your elbow down. 3. Don’t hold your breath.
