Steps

  1. 1 Adjust the suspension trainer so the foot cradles hang about 6-12 inches off the floor.
  2. 2 Lie on your side with your feet placed into the foot cradles, one foot in each cradle, stacking them or placing one slightly in front of the other.
  3. 3 Position your bottom elbow directly under your shoulder, with your forearm flat on the floor and fingers pointing forward.
  4. 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. 5 Maintain this straight line, keeping your core tight and hips stable, avoiding any sagging or twisting.
  6. 6 Hold the side plank position for the desired duration, then slowly lower your hips back to the floor to release.
