- 1 Begin by lying on your side, supporting your body on one forearm and the outside edge of the same-side foot.
- 2 Ensure your elbow is directly under your shoulder and your body forms a straight line from head to heels.
- 3 Engage your core and quickly lower your hips towards the floor, allowing them to just lightly tap or hover above it.
- 4 Immediately and explosively drive your hips back up, pushing them slightly higher than your initial straight-line side plank position.
- 5 Control the descent as you return to the lowered position and repeat the movement.
