Exercise of the week: Side plank with hip dip
Strengthen your core where it counts!
This movement targets the obliques and lateral stabilisers, improving spinal support, shoulder stability and functional strength for everyday movements.
Before you jump into this movement, keep an eye out for these common mistakes we often see:
👉🏻 Keep your core engaged, don’t let your hips sag
👉🏻 Start on your knees - if full side plank is too challenging
👉🏻 Move slowly and controlled to maximise muscle engagement
If you're looking to take this movement further, try adding on one of these progressions
💪🏻 Add a light dumbbell on your top hip for extra resistance
💪🏻 Hold the movement at the top for a few seconds for an isometric challenge
Focus on your form first, then challenge yourself!
Give this movement a go and see the difference!
