Tone Your Middle With a Side Plank

This move will strengthen your abdominal muscles, back and shoulders. Be sure to breathe normally as you perform the Side Plank. It’ll test your balance skills, but most importantly, it will stabilize your trunk, helping you perform simple tasks such as lifting items and opening doors. And doing Side Planks will also improve your performance in any sport. Women's physique's always look more appealing with a small, slender waist and it's true you cannot change your basic structure, but you do have the power to sculpt and make your body the best it can be. So, start sculpting and shaping your middle with some side planks and make your waist look the best it can be.

Step 1:
Lie on your side with your legs extended and left arm resting in front of you. Prop up your upper body with your right forearm against the floor.

Step 2:
Exhale as you lift your hips off the floor, balancing your body weight on your right forearm and outer edge of your right foot.

Step 3:
Hold for 30 seconds or longer as you become stronger.

Step 4:
Switch sides and repeat for a total of 4-6 sets each side
