How to do it
- Lie on your side with your elbow under your shoulder and your legs straight and stacked.
- Lift your hips so your body forms a straight line from head to feet.
- Hold for the set time, breathing normally.
- Lower your hips slowly, then repeat on each side.
Do all reps on one side, then switch.
Beginner tip: To make it easier, bend your knees and rest the lower knee on the floor.
