Side Plank is a variation of the elbow plank, and like the basic elbow plank the side plank works a variety of muscles: Transversus Abdominis, Obliques Gluteus Medius, Gluteus Minimus, as well as your Hips. 

Side Plank Modifications

• Beginner: Body Weight
• Intermediate: Using a dumbbell raise your top arm not on the ground straight up above your shoulder and hold for the duration of the plank.
• Expert: Add the dumbbell and also raise your outer leg about 8 inches holding both your arm and leg up for the duration of the plank.

Step-By-Step Instructions to Complete A Side Plank:
