1 Side Plank

This exercise engages the muscles of the lateral core and coordinates them with the muscles of the shoulder girdle. Lie on your side on a mat with one hand placed under your shoulder joint and your legs long and stable on top of each other. Raise your body up,holding this position for 10 seconds. Lower your body and repeat the same exercise on the other side. If staying on your hand is too difficult for your shoulder joint, just lower your body so you are on your elbow and forearm and widen your foot position so your top leg is on the floor in front of your bottom leg.
