Bodyweight-Strength-Training-Anatomy

People who struggle with the conventional side plank
should master the shortlever side plank before moving on
to the side plank. Because the exercise is performed from
the knees rather than from the feet, a lower percentage of
body weight is used and the exercise is easier to control.
The same rules apply: stay long and motionless.

The feet-elevated side plank is an advanced variation of
the side plank. Elevate the feet onto a weight bench, small
chair, box, or sturdy table. Ideally, you want the body to
be parallel to the floor. Make the exercise even more
challenging by combining a hip abduction (like a side
lying hip raise) with the top leg or an external hip rotation
(like a sidelying clams) while holding the position.
