Side Plank/Hip Dip [Hand on Hip]

Hip Dips from a side plank with the top hand on the hip keep the upper body square while targeting the obliques through the dipping motion.

Equipment: None

1 / 9

Step-by-step instructions

1
Start in a side plank position with your right hand flat on the floor and your left hand on your left hip.
2
Stack your feet or stagger them for balance, and lift your hips into the side plank.
3
Slowly lower your right hip toward the floor without touching it.
4
Press back up through your right hand and obliques to return to the side plank position.
5
Complete all reps on the right side, then switch to the left.

Placing the top hand on the hip helps you monitor hip rotation — keep your hips square throughout the dip. Move slowly and with control.
