- 3 Position your bottom elbow directly under your shoulder, with your forearm flat on the floor and fingers pointing forward.
- 4 Engage your core and glutes, then lift your hips off the floor until your body forms a straight line from your head to your heels.
- 5 Maintain this straight line, keeping your core tight and hips stable, avoiding any sagging or twisting.
- 6 Hold the side plank position for the desired duration, then slowly lower your hips back to the floor to release.
