These two side plank exercises work your core, obliques, wrists, shoulders, biceps and glutes. They are two very effective and challenging exercises.
The first side plank exercise
Position yourself in a side plank, and as you press the dumbbell over your shoulder, lift your leg at the same time. Hold and lower back to the start position. If this is too hard, do it without the weights. Do 2-3 sets of 8-12 reps on each side.
The second side plank exercise
Position yourself in a side plank and swing the dumbbell under your body and then back out in front of you. Again, if this is too challenging, do it without the weights and come down onto your elbow. Do 2-3 sets of 8-12 reps on each side.
