SIDE PLANKS
Side planks can be an ideal type of
exercise because they’re reasonably easy,
do not require any special equipment,
you can do them almost anywhere, and
they give a very good workout to the stabilizing
muscles. When doing these exercises
it is important to do them correctly
and to do so you will want to support your
body by using the forearm that is on the
floor while lying on your side. You will
want to keep your body straight to tighten
your abs while raising your hips off
the ground and keeping your body from
its heels to its head in a diagonal line. Dr.
Brabham recommends holding that position
for at least 10 seconds or as long as
you can do so while maintaining a perfect
form. You should do anywhere from
2 to 5 sets.

GLUTE BRIDGES
This is another of the exercises that you can do almost anywhere. This
exercise allows you to workout muscle groups that are often neglected
such as the stabilizing muscles of the back along with the glutes. To do
this exercise you will lay on your back and bend your knees to allow
your feet to rest flat on the floor. Tighten your core muscle
groups while lifting up your hips and press your heels
so that your body makes a straight line from your
knees to your shoulders and maintain
that position for a minimum of 10 seconds
or as long as you can do so while
keeping a perfect form. You should do
a minimum of 2 and up to 5 sets.
