Lie on your side and place your right hand on the floor.
STEP 2
Lift yourself up and get into a plank position with your right arm straight and your left arm to your side. The hand on the floor should have fingers pointing to the rear.
STEP 3
Hold position for the prescribed time.
STEP 4
Rest for a few seconds and repeat hold with the other side.
Special Notes
This exercise looks easy, but after only a few seconds into the hold, most people's hips start sagging towards the floor. Don't let this happen. Your head, neck, hips and legs all need to be in a straight line alignment.
