As if planks needed to get harder than they already are, someone invented the rolling side plank.
The king of all planks.
In addition to the core attention you get from a normal plank, the rolling plank also focuses on mobility bringing the plank variation to a whole new level. The exercise combines the side plank with a forearm plank in one fluid, ab-tastic movement.
Here’s how to feel the burn:
- Grab a mat and lie stomach down with both forearms in front of your chest.
- Press up into a plank position. Engage your quads and lift your body off the floor.
- Shift your weight onto your left forearm and open your body toward the right side of your mat.
- Here you will be in side plank. Stack your feet one in front of the other as your drop your right elbow up and back.
- Come back to center and put both forearms on the ground.
- Repeat on the other side.
