Exercise of The Month

Each month Arnita shares her favorite exercise for the month.

This exercise is an advanced variant of the classic side plank.
Side planks are perfect exercises for those who want to intensively train the rectus abdominis, focusing specifically on the abdominal oblique.
By keeping your arm fully stretched and the your legs crossed, you ensure that the difficulty of the workout increases: we therefore recommend this exercise to those who have an intermediate/advanced skill level and good muscle tone.

Primary muscle: Rectus Abdominis, Abdominal Obliques
Secondary muscle:  Abs & Obliques, Middle & Lower Back / Lats are the secondarily affected muscles.
Exercise Type: Strength Training
Equipment Required: Mat 

For this exercise, beginners are  looking for 3 x 10 repetitions and 4 x 15 for intermediate and 5 x 25 for advance. 
Remember to hold each move for at least 2 to 4 seconds to feel the burn
