Side Plank
The
Plank is a static exercise for strengthening the abdominals,
back and shoulders. Isometric strength is important for stabilizing
the trunk in various sports and exercises. The abdominal plank
is a great exercise for strengthening the transverse abdominus.
The transverse abdominus is the deepest layer of abdominal
muscle and wraps around the whole midsection. When you contract
the abdominals, your waist becomes thinner. This is the action
of the transverse. Therefore, a strong transverse abdominus
means a smaller, tighter waist. When you are doing the plank
exercise or a variation of the plank, make sure to contract
your abdominals while remembering to breath. Side planks are
a variation of the regular
plank.
