Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Start in a forearm plank position with your elbows under your shoulders and your body in a straight line.

  2. 2

    Keep your core tight and your hips level.

  3. 3

    Slowly rotate your hips to the right, lowering them toward the floor without touching it.

  4. 4

    Return to center, then rotate to the left.

  5. 5

    Continue alternating sides for the prescribed reps or time.

Notes

Keep the movement controlled — do not let your hips drop all the way to the floor. The rotation should come from your obliques, not from momentum.
