Plank with Hip Twist

by Kara

WHAT TO DO: Place your forearms flat on the ground. Then push up so that you are supported on your toes and forearms with your back straight. Keep your stomach lifted while rotating your hips to the right. (Your forearms and toes should remain where they were in the plank position, you should only be moving your hips.) Rotate back to plank position and the do the same thing only to the left.

Repeat to the right, middle, left, and then middle again for number of reps chosen. Remember to keep your stomach lifted, it will help you get the most out of this exercise. Be sure to keep breathing, it lets your muscles get more oxygen so you will be able to stretch easier.

SUGGESTED REP RANGE: For this exercise do it in sets of reps. I suggest 2-4 sets of 5-20 reps in a set. (1 rep is once to the right or left.)
