Do you want to build a strong core? Then the side plank is one exercise you have to incorporate in your exercise regime.
How to do a side plank
Step 1: Lie on your left side with your legs straight and then use your left forearm to lift yourself so your body forms a straight diagonal while placing your right hand on your hip. Your right leg will be above your left leg.
Step 2: Hold this position for 60 seconds (if you can't hold it for 60, try to hold it for 30).
Step 3: Rest for a few seconds and then switch to the other side.
Tips: Make sure your body forms a straight line while holding this pose.
