The side plank with feet on bench is a progression from a normal side plank that targets the core, with an emphasis on the obliques. Performing with feet elevated also increases the resistance on the shoulders and triceps.
Instructions
Lie on the floor, place one elbow underneath you, and stack your feet on a bench so that your body is facing one side.
Raise your hips off the ground so that your body forms a straight line from your ankles to shoulders. Brace your core and hold this position.
Trainer’s Tips
Don't allow your hips to drop. Maintain a straight line from your head to toes.
Squeeze your glutes and your abs to keep your body stable.
Don't let your shoulders roll forward. Keep your chest up and shoulders back.
