Forearm Side Plank
Forearm Side Plank: This is the next progression in the side plank series. See links below for reference. Lie on your side with your legs stacked and elbow directly under your shoulder to support your torso. Inhale to prepare, exhale as you connect your core (quad breathing tutorial below) and press your pelvis up, bringing your shoulders, hips, knees, and feet all in the same plane. Ground down into the floor with your feet and bottom elbow, while checking in that you're not rotating through your hips or shoulders. Keep focusing on your breathing as you maintain this position to further support your core connection.
