Plank With Hip Twists

Starting Position

• bring your body into the plank position
• rest the forearms on the floor and stretch out your legs to the back
• lift the hip, so that the body builds a line from head to heels
• the shoulders are right above the elbows now
• your body weight is on the forearms and feet

Correct Execution

• keep up the tension in the core area
• now turn the hip to the left side, then to the right side, repeat this several times
• the hip is allowed to touch the ground, but try to avoid it
• you can turn the feet with the motion a bit
• the arms and shoulders do not move as possible, the turning happens in the hip only

tips for the workout
